The nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene of eight mycoplasmas isolated from felids was determined and used for taxonomic comparisons. A signature nucleotide sequence motif and overall sequence sim...
Certain Mycoplasma spp. are pathogens of poultry, but little is known of the role of mycoplasmas in disease of birds of prey. Species-specific polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) for the detection of th...
The morphology of viable Mycoplasma fermentans, Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma orale types 1 and 2, and Mycoplasma salivarium was studied in broth cultures by interference microscopy and in thin secti...
Cell-wall-less uncultivated parasitic bacteria that attach to the surface of host erythrocytes currently are classified in the order Rickettsiales, family Anaplasmataceae, in the genera Haemobartonell...
Mycoplasmas are pathogens of different avian species, but the role of Mycoplasma in raptors is not yet completely determined. As Mycoplasma isolation and identification present several difficulties, s...
A number of experiments were carried out to study the thermal sensitivity of Mycoplasma synoviae and Mycoplasma gallisepticum as well as that of young embryos in vitro and in ovo. A full mycoplasmacid...
Reactivity of Mycoplasma pulmonis (Mp) antigen strains to anti-Mp antibody in the sera of Mp infected rats was examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Antibody titers to 7 kinds of Mp a...
The pattern and kinetics of substrate utilization by the type strains of Mycoplasma canis, M. bovirhinis and M. dispar and ten recent M. canis isolates from cattle were determined. Metabolism of a ran...
