Orthologous groups were examined in similiarity searches to gain an understanding of gene organization potentials. These preliminaries made use of a larger data set than merely all available STD pathogens (eight complete genomes). Each genome was used as a query against every other genome. The set of genomes includes the genomes of the known bacterial STDs.
