RESUMO

Mycoplasmas and or ureaplasmas have been isolated from small ruminants but are few studied. Mycoplasma ovine/caprine serotype 11, known as 2D strain, has not been classified yet as specie. However, it has been associated to vulvovaginitis and reproductive disorder in caprine and ovine. Ureaplasmas may cause genital tract diseases. Experimental infections with isolates recovered from sick animals resulted in granularity and hyperemia of the vulva. These have not been designated as specie but are divide in nine serological characteristics types. The serotype IX is associated to infertility and abortion in sheep. The present study aims the isolation of mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas from reproductive tract of ovine and caprine, genotyping of isolates by PFGE, and sequencing of their 16S rRNA. Ureaplasma isolates were recovered from the reproductive tract of 20 ovine, being them, male and female. Mycoplasma was isolated alone in one sample. A mixture of mycoplasma and ureaplasma was obtained in seven samples. On the material obtained from female caprine, five isolations were performed. Four of them were ureaplasma and one was a mycoplasma. Eleven isolates from ovine showed eight distinct profiles at PFGE, confirm that the method can typify ovine origin ureaplasmas. Six isolates were grouped to the Ureaplasma diversum ATCC 49782, through the sequencing of their 16S rRNA using the UPGMA. However, when using a 97% cutoff, four isolates could not be grouped to none of the ureaplasma specie. The isolates from ovine and caprine grouped to U. diversum, do not allow conclude that they are all the same specie. The use of 16S rRNA sequencing showed many useful information to phylogenetic inference, and can be the first choice for when investigating new species. Phylogenetic techniques, as sequencing of the intergenic space 16S-23S rRNA and urease gene, can be used to help the classification of new ureaplasma isolates from ovine and caprine.
