1974 M. C. Shepard et al. in Internat. Jrnl. Systematic Bacteriol. XXIV. 160 It is reasonable to propose establishing a new, separate genus in the family Mycoplasmataceae in which to classify the T mycoplasmas isolated from man and lower animals. The name Ureaplasma is proposed for this new genus, which at present contains a single human species.]
1975 Jrnl. Med. Microbiol. 8 528 Mouse mastitis is suggested as being a suitable small animal model for studying ureaplasma infections.
1981 Annales de Microbiol. CXXXII. B. 172 Ureaplasmas were isolated first from the human genito-urinary tract.
