DNA sequencing reveals limited heterogeneity in the 16S rRNA gene from the rrnB operon among five Mycoplasma hominis isolates Mygind, Tina and Birkelund, Svend and Christiansen, Gunna,, 48, 1067-1071 (1998), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-48-3-1067, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= To investigate the intraspecies heterogeneity within the 16S rRNA gene of Mycoplasma hominis, five isolates with diverse antigenic profiles, variable/identical P120 hypervariable domains, and different 16S rRNA gene RFLP patterns were analysed. The 16S rRNA gene from the rrnB operon was amplified by PCR and the PCR products were sequenced. Three isolates had identical 16S rRNA sequences and two isolates had sequences that differed from the others by only one nucleotide., language=, type=
