Abstract

Isolates of Ureaplasma diversum recovered from bovines with reproductive disorders and healthy ones of four premises were compared by SE-AFLP. Twenty-eight SE-AFLP profiles without monomorphic fragments were obtained. The ureaplasma studied were divided in clusters A and B. Cluster A was divided in subclusters A1 and A2, while A1 was divided in subclusters A1a and A1b. Cluster B grouped only the reference strains. The clusters obtained were not associated with the reproductive disorders. The dendrogram obtained showed high heterogeneity among the studied ureaplasmas and indicated a low genomic stability as detected in other species of microorganisms of class Mollicutes. (AU)
