Ureaplasma urealyticum classification
Overview
Classification
T-strain Mycoplasma was ascribed to the genus and specie Ureaplasma urealyticum in 1974.[1][2] U. urealyticum was later subdivided into two biotypes:[2]
- Biovar 1 ( parvo biovar): Ureaplasma urealyticum biovar 1 was later designated as a separate specie called U. parvum following phylogenetic analysis done in 1999.
- Biovar 2 (T960 biovar): The Ureaplasma urealyticum biovar 2 strain retained its designation as U. urealyticum.
