title: The serological reactions of Mycoplasma isolated from pneumonic sheep lungs in the Sudan.
abstract: Seven mycoplasma isolated from pneumonic sheep lungs were found to belong to two serologically unrelated groups. Isolates in one group reacted strongly with antisera to M arginini in the metabolic inhibition and growth inhibition tests. All isolates except one failed to react with antisera to M mycoides var capri or M mycoides var mycoides. The results of the present work support the previously reported division of the isolates into two groups on the basis of their biological properties.
