title: Genomic heterogeneity of canine ureaplasmas revealed by restriction endonuclease analysis.
abstract: Genomic DNAs of ureaplasma strains isolated from dogs were analyzed by restriction endonucleases. The cleavage patterns revealed by agarose gel electrophoresis, which were characteristic for each strain examined, may provide a direct indication for the genomic index among ureaplasma strains, and can be used as an epidemiological marker in ureaplasma infections.
