Polymerase chain reaction using 16S rRNA gene sequences distinguishes the two biovars of Ureaplasma urealyticum

Abstract excerpt

Several fundamental phenotypic and genotypic differences have separated strains of the genital mycoplasma Ureaplasma urealyticum into two clusters or biovars. However, the lack of an easily performed and unambiguous test to discriminate between them has hampered investigation of the relationship between these biovars and disease. We determined the 16S rRNA nucleotide sequence of U. urealyticum 27, the serovar 3...
