Variation in repeat numbers and distribution patterns of the MG309 AGT/AAT repeat sequence. (A) MG309 AGT/AAT repeat sequences in selected patient specimens obtained from unrelated patients, sequential specimens from the same patients and specimens from concurrently infected couples. (B) MG309 AGT/AAT repeat sequences among selected plasmid clones from two sequential specimens from one patient (no. 198). The published sequence from the M. genitalium G37 genome (GenBank accession number NC_000908) was chosen as the reference sequence (G37). The boxed regions in each panel contain the MG309 AGT/AAT repeat units. Hyphens indicate gaps introduced to optimize alignment. Numbers on the left of each sequence refer to the specimen codes (panel A) or plasmid clones (panel B). Repeat units that differ from those of G37 are highlighted in yellow.
