The purpose of this study was to determine if Mycoplasma haemofelis, 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum' exist in Korea. Three hundreds and thirty one feral cats were evaluated by using PCR assay targeting 16S rRNA gene sequence. Fourteen cats (4.2%) were positive for M. haemofelis, 34 cats (10.3%) were positive for 'Candidatus M. haemominutum' and 18 cats (5.4%) were positive for both species. Partial 16S rRNA gene sequences were closely (>98%) related to those from other countries. This is the first molecular detection of feline hemoplasmas in Korea.
本研究的目的是确定韩国是否存在溶血支原体和“溶血微小支原体（暂定种）”。通过针对16S rRNA基因序列的聚合酶链反应（PCR）分析对331只野猫进行了评估。14只猫（4.2%）溶血支原体呈阳性，34只猫（10.3%）“溶血微小支原体（暂定种）”呈阳性，18只猫（5.4%）两种支原体均呈阳性。部分16S rRNA基因序列与其他国家的序列密切相关（>98%）。这是韩国首次对猫血支原体进行分子检测。
