| Zusammenfassung: | <jats:p> <jats:named-content xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" content-type="species" xlink:type="simple"> <jats:ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1601/nm.4678" xlink:type="simple"> <jats:italic>Mycoplasma haemomuris</jats:italic> </jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> is causative of infectious anaemia or splenomegaly in rodents. We examined the nucleotide sequences of the non-ribosomal genes, <jats:italic>rnpB</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>dnaK</jats:italic>, in strains of the species <jats:named-content xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" content-type="species" xlink:type="simple"> <jats:ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1601/nm.4678" xlink:type="simple"> <jats:italic>M. haemomuris</jats:italic> </jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content>detected in small field mice and black rats. <jats:italic>rnpB</jats:italic> nucleotide sequences in strains of the species <jats:named-content xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" content-type="species" xlink:type="simple"> <jats:ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1601/nm.4678" xlink:type="simple"> <jats:italic>M. haemomuris</jats:italic> </jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content>isolated from small field mice and black rats had only 89 % sequence similarity, suggesting their separation into two distinct subgroups. <jats:italic>dnaK</jats:italic> had a nucleotide sequence similarity of 84 % between the subgroups. These results support the classification of <jats:named-content xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" content-type="species" xlink:type="simple"> <jats:ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1601/nm.4678" xlink:type="simple"> <jats:italic>M. haemomuris</jats:italic> </jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content>into two genetically distinct subgroups. Here we propose the establishment of these subgroups as ‘<jats:italic>Candidatus</jats:italic> Mycoplasma haemomuris subsp. musculi’, detected in small field mice (<jats:italic>Apodemus argenteus</jats:italic>), and ‘<jats:italic>Candidatus</jats:italic> Mycoplasma haemomuris subsp. ratti’, detected in black rats (<jats:italic>Rattus rattus</jats:italic>).</jats:p> |
