Overview

Ureaplasma urealyticum was previously classified into biovar 1 and biovar 2 which are now referred to as U. parvum and U. urealyticum respectively.

Classification

T-strain Mycoplasma was ascribed to the genus and specie Ureaplasma urealyticum in 1974.[1][2] U. urealyticum was later subdivided into two biotypes consisting of 14 serotypes:[2]

  • Biovar 1 ( parvo biovar): Ureaplasma urealyticum biovar 1 was later designated as a separate specie called U. parvum following phylogenetic analysis done in 1999. It has four serotypes (serotypes 1, 3, 6, and 14).
  • Biovar 2 (T960 biovar): Ureaplasma urealyticum biovar 2 strain retained its designation as U. urealyticum, and it consists of the remaining ten serotypes.
