Phylogenetic analysis of hemoplasma species: an international study

J Clin Microbiol. 2003 Aug;41(8):3877-80. doi: 10.1128/JCM.41.8.3877-3880.2003.

Abstract

Nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences for feline and canine hemoplasma isolates from Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia showed almost 100% identity to those previously reported for United States isolates. Partial sequences of the RNA subunit of the RNase P gene were also determined, and RNase P-based phylogenetic analysis showed that the hemoplasmas are most closely related to the members of the Mycoplasma pneumoniae group.
