Description
Alexandra Nunes, Joao Gomes, Sally Mead and colleagues compared a gene family across strains of Chlamydia trachomatis, in PLOS ONE in 2007. This germ lives inside host cells and is a leading cause of eye and genital disease worldwide. Its pmp gene family codes for nine membrane proteins whose roles are still being worked out.
The team profiled how strongly each pmp gene is used in lab reference strains versus strains taken from patients. Differences there may point to which proteins matter most during real infection. The work adds detail to a germ that is common, often silent and still hard to control.
