To define the antigenic relatedness among unspeciated ureaplasma strains isolated from dogs, four canine ureaplasma isolates representing four serotypes were compared with the five type strains of the established species in Genus Ureaplasma by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blotting. Although all the strains showed distinct electrophoretic patterns by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the Western blotting patterns were much more distinct. By Western blotting, the five type strains of established species reacted strongly with homologous antisera and showed slight cross reactions with heterologous antisera. However canine strains which showed little cross reactions with the established Ureaplasma species showed a variety of cross reactions among the four canine serotypes used.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
