Mycoplasma sp. strain EDS-4 was isolated from the oral cavity of EDS line of a house musk shrew (Suncus murinus) originated from Bangladesh, and was distinguished from all previously described mollicutes. It lacks a cell wall; ferments glucose; does not produce film and spots; and does not hydrolyse arginine and urea. The strain could be distinguished from all previously described mollicutes by 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons. The results suggest that the isolate is new species of mollicutes originated from the shrew. The strain EDS-4 has been deposited with Japan collection of Microorganisms, Bioresource Center, RIKEN in Japan (JCM15930). The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain EDS-4 is available through the DDBJ under accession number (AB469852).
支原体菌株EDS - 4是从一只原产于孟加拉国的麝鼩（Suncus murinus）的EDS品系口腔中分离出来的，它与之前描述的所有柔膜菌目微生物都不同。它没有细胞壁；能发酵葡萄糖；不产生菌膜和菌斑；不水解精氨酸和尿素。通过16S rRNA基因序列比较，该菌株可与之前描述的所有柔膜菌目微生物区分开来。结果表明，该分离株是源自麝鼩的柔膜菌目新物种。菌株EDS - 4已保藏于日本理化学研究所生物资源中心的日本微生物保藏中心（JCM15930）。菌株EDS - 4的16S rRNA基因序列可通过DNA数据库（DDBJ）获取，登录号为（AB469852）。
