摘要: It is becoming apparent that a high rate of variability surface structures ubiquitous property among mycoplasmas. The present study demonstrates how variations in the size V-1 antigen (a major Mycoplasma pulmonis thought to be associated with virulence) are reflected by phenotypic differences (cytadherence) may play role virulence organism. Furthermore, similar described for human pathogen Ureaplasma urealyticum, and data presented on analysis clinical isolates demonstrate potential variation this vivo
