| mycoplasma felifaucium, a new species isolated from the respiratory tract of pumas. | mycoplasmas isolated from the throats of three pumas (felis concolor) were each cloned and examined in detail. all three were serologically and biologically indistinguishable from each other, and were serologically distinct from 83 recognized mycoplasma and acholeplasma species. they were designated as a new species, mycoplasma felifaucium, with strain pu (nctc 11703) as the type strain. | 1986 | 3794642 |
| taxonomy of the feline mycoplasmas mycoplasma felifaucium, mycoplasma feliminutum, mycoplasma felis, mycoplasma gateae, mycoplasma leocaptivus, mycoplasma leopharyngis, and mycoplasma simbae by 16s rrna gene sequence comparisons. | the nucleotide sequence of the 16s rrna gene of eight mycoplasmas isolated from felids was determined and used for taxonomic comparisons. a signature nucleotide sequence motif and overall sequence similarity to other mollicutes positioned mycoplasma felifaucium, mycoplasma felis, mycoplasma leocaptivus, mycoplasma leopharyngis, and mycoplasma simbae in the mycoplasma fermentans phylogenetic group of mollicutes. mycoplasma arginini and mycoplasma gateae were positioned in the mycoplasma hominis p ... | 1995 | 8590684 |
