Mycoplasms were isolated from 35 (16%) of 215 specimens collected from 20 crab-eating monkeys (Macaca irus), 9 green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) and from 9 common squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciurea). All these animals had been imported from South-East Asia, Africa and South America being apparently healthy. A total of 38 large and 20 small colony-mycoplasma strains were isolated from the nasal and oral cavity, urethra, vagina and rectal feces. The large colony-mycoplasmas could be differentiated into 5 groups on the basis of their biological and serological characteristics. Six and 7 of them were identified as M. orale 2 and M. salivarium, respectively. Twenty strains were clearly distinguished not only from M. orale 2 and M. salivarium, but also from such arginase positive species as M. orale 1, M. fermentans, M. hominis, M. arthritidis, M. maculosum and M. gateae. These were divided into 2 groups, comprising 9 and 11 strains, respectively, by growth inhibition as well as various biological tests. The remaining 5 strains were not identified serologically. The small colony-mycoplasmas were found to be urease-positive and appeared to be T-mycoplasmas, while not examined serologically.
从20只食蟹猴（食蟹猕猴）、9只绿猴（埃塞俄比亚猕猴）和9只普通松鼠猴（松鼠猴）采集的215份样本中，有35份（16%）分离出了支原体。所有这些动物均从东南亚、非洲和南美洲进口，进口时表面健康。从鼻腔和口腔、尿道、阴道及直肠粪便中总共分离出38株大菌落支原体菌株和20株小菌落支原体菌株。根据其生物学和血清学特征，大菌落支原体可分为5组。其中6株和7株分别被鉴定为口腔支原体2型和唾液支原体。20株菌株不仅与口腔支原体2型和唾液支原体明显不同，而且与精氨酸酶阳性的支原体种类如口腔支原体1型、发酵支原体、人型支原体、关节炎支原体、斑疹支原体和加泰罗尼亚支原体也明显不同。通过生长抑制试验以及各种生物学试验，这些菌株分为2组，分别包含9株和11株。其余5株菌株未进行血清学鉴定。小菌落支原体被发现脲酶呈阳性，似乎是T支原体，但未进行血清学检测。
