title: In vivo expression analysis of the P97 and P102 paralog families of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae.
abstract: The P97 adhesin and P102 genes of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae each have six paralogs in the genome. We tested whether these genes were expressed during infection. P102 is associated with the mycoplasma and with swine cilia. Further, most of the paralogs were transcribed in vivo in two gene transcriptional units.
