In the helix 25 region, 32 French Taylorella asinigenitalis isolates carried at least one 23S rRNA gene not containing intervening sequences (IVSs). No IVSs in the region were identified in three isolates and the other remaining 29 isolates carried one or more IVSs (UCD-1(T)IVS1A, UCD-1(T)IVS1B and UK-1IVS1B) described already and two new kinds of IVS (TaIVS1C and TaIVS1D). In the helix 45 region, no T. asinigenitalis isolates not carrying any IVSs were identified. UK-1IVS2B was identified in the region from 26 isolates. Five new kinds of IVSs (TaIVS2D, E, F, G and H) occurred in the region in the 13 isolates. Distinctly different tandem repeat units (RS48 and RS32 and RS-A, -B and -C) were evident in both regions, respectively, from the French (n=32) and American (n=3) T. asinigenitalis isolates. Thus, several different kinds of tandem repeat units and their combinations in IVSs in both regions within the gene were shown in 32 French isolates. Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
