Phylogenetic analysis of Ureaplasma urealyticum--support for the establishment of a new species, Ureaplasma parvum.
In this study, the phylogenetic relationships between the two biovars and 14 serovars of Ureaplasma urealyticum were studied using the sequences of four different genes or genetic regions, namely: 16S rRNA genes; 16S-23S rRNA gene spacer regions; urease gene subunits ureA, ureB, partial ureC and adjoining regions upstream of ureA, ureA-ureB spacer and ureB-ureC spacer; the 5'-ends of the multip...

متن کاملSpecies identification and subtyping of Ureaplasma parvum and Ureaplasma urealyticum using PCR-based assays.
There is good evidence that the organism currently known as Ureaplasma urealyticum should be divided into two species-U. parvum (previously U. urealyticum biovar 1) and U. urealyticum (previously U. urealyticum biovar 2). In this study, we designed a series of primers, targeting the 16S rRNA gene and 16S rRNA-23S rRNA intergenic spacer regions, the urease gene subunits, and the 5' ends of the m...
متن کاملModified real-time PCR for detecting, differentiating, and quantifying Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum.
We evaluated a previously described quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) for quantifying and differentiating Ureaplasma parvum and U. urealyticum. Because of nonspecific reactions with Staphylococcus aureus DNA in the U. parvum PCR, we developed a modified qPCR and designed new primers. These oligonucleotides eradicated cross-reactions, indicating higher specificity. The detection limits of the qP...
متن کاملDifferential recognition of the multiple banded antigen isoforms across Ureaplasma parvum and Ureaplasma urealyticum species by monoclonal antibodies.
Two separate species of Ureaplasma have been identified that infect humans: Ureaplasma parvum and Ureaplasma urealyticum. Most notably, these bacteria lack a cell wall and are the leading infectious organism associated with infection-related induction of preterm birth. Fourteen separate representative prototype bacterial strains, called serovars, are largely differentiated by the sequence of re...
