Abstract excerpt
To investigate the intraspecies heterogeneity within the 16S rRNA gene of Mycoplasma hominis, five isolates with diverse antigenic profiles, variable/identical P120 hypervariable domains, and different 16S rRNA gene RFLP patterns were analysed. The 16S rRNA gene from the rrnB operon was amplified by PCR and the PCR products were sequenced. Three isolates had identical 16S rRNA sequences and two isolates had...
