Abstract excerpt
Strains of Mycoplasma hominis isolated from different tissues of patients with a variety of disease processes and from cell culture substrates show marked phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity, as determined by their antigenic and isozyme properties and by [3H]DNA-DNA hybridization and DNA cleavage pattern analyses. Strains isolated from the same tissues (blood of postpartum patients or human urogenital tract or...
