ABSTRACT

Mycoplasmas isolated from simian (Cercopithecus aethiops) tissues were shown to have biological, biochemical, and serological properties and electrophoretic cell protein patterns similar to strain Navel isolated from man 15 years ago. The simian and human Navel strains comprised a single serogroup, distinct from the established Mycoplasma and Acholeplasma species of the class Mollicutes. It is proposed that strains with the properties described be named Mycoplasma primatum.
