Absence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae cytadsorption protein P1 in Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma gallisepticum.
Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae protein P1 were nonreactive with whole-cell or soluble preparations of M. genitalium and M. gallisepticum. However, radioimmunoprecipitation performed with hyperimmune rabbit sera raised against each mycoplasma species indicated antigenic cross-reactivity between M. pneumoniae and M. genitalium.
متن کاملMolecular basis for cytadsorption of Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Hemadsorbing (HA+) virulent Mycoplasma pneumoniae and spontaneously derived nonhemadsorbing (HA-) avirulent mutants were compared by biochemical and ultrastructural techniques in an attempt to understand the molecular basis for cytadsorption. Lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination of intact mycoplasmas indicated that both virulent and avirulent mycoplasmas displayed similar surface protein patter...
متن کاملShared epitopes between Mycoplasma pneumoniae major adhesin protein P1 and a 140-kilodalton protein of Mycoplasma genitalium.
Previous serological data have demonstrated cross-reactive antigens between two pathogenic species of mycoplasmas, M. pneumoniae and M. genitalium. Preliminary analysis of sera and monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to protein antigens of these species showed an immunodominance of adhesin P1 (165 kilodaltons [kDa]) of M. pneumoniae in mice and hamsters and a 140-kDa protein of M. genitalium in mice a...

Mycoplasmas are important avian pathogens, which can cause both respiratory disease and synovitis in poultry that result in considerable economic losses to the poultry industry all over the world. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae infections among commercial poultry flocks in ...
متن کاملMYCOPLASMA GENITALIUM Mycoplasma genitalium: prevalence, clinical significance, and transmission
Objectives: To study the prevalence, symptoms and signs of Mycoplasma genitalium and Chlamydia trachomatis infections in STD clinic attendees and in partners of M genitalium infected patients. Methods: M genitalium and C trachomatis were detected by polymerase chain reaction from urethral and endocervical swab specimens in a cross sectional study among 445 female and 501 male STD clinic attende...
