Determinations of the ED50 of cultures of Mycoplasma arthritidis disclosed the existence of great diversity in the arthritogenic properties of the various strains. In most cases, the ED50 values were lowered after passaging in rats, and a more severe arthritis with a shorter period of onset was observed. Heavy suspensions of arthritogenic M. arthritidis did not appear to induce any toxic symptoms. Prior injections of endotoxin did not enhance the toxicity of M. arthritidis suspensions. The more arthritogenic strains grew more slowly in the basal medium and remained viable for longer periods of time than those with lower arthritogenic properties. All strains were identical on the basis of complement-fixation tests. Minor differences observed between strains during gel-diffusion studies could not be correlated with arthritogenic properties. Arthritogenic strains appeared to be less susceptible to the inhibiting action of rabbit antisera than were the nonarthritogenic strains. 538 on July 31, 2020 by guest http://iai.asm.org/ Downloaded from

“…Antigenic variation is known to occur among some species of Nycoplasrna (Taylor-Robinson, Somerson, Turner & Chanock, 1963;Purcell el aZ., 1967) and this may account for the low mean zone diam of 2.7 mm obtained with strains of M . hominis 1 and for 2 strains of this species failing to be identified at a diagnostic laboratory.…”
