Study on the Physico-chemical Factors Augmenting the Growth of Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies capri
Different physical factors like aeration, temperature and shaking culture conditions were applied to the culture and observation of growth was studied for 72 hours of incubation. Similarly the Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies capri was grown in PPLO medium enriched with different concentrations (5, 10 and 20%) of serum from horse, bovine and allantoic fluid, along with usual concentration of yeas...
متن کاملMycoplasma taxonomy studiedy electrophoresis of cell proteins.
The electrophoretic patterns of cell proteins in polyacrylamide gels were used for the study of several taxonomic problems in the Mycoplasmatales. The patterns of five Mycoplasma hominis strains showed marked differences that corresponded with their known serological and nucleic acid heterogeneity. The patterns of three M. mycoides var. mycoides strains isolated in different countries were esse...
متن کاملTransfer of amphotericin B from gel state vesicles to mycoplasma cells: biphasic action on potassium transport and permeability.
The action of amphotericin B on the K+ permeability of Mycoplasma mycoides var. capri cells, containing either cholesterol or ergosterol in their membranes, was studied. When the drug, solubilized in dimethyl sulfoxide, was added directly to the cell suspension, a slightly greater sensitivity to permeabilization was observed for ergosterol-containing cells, confirming the data reported in the l...
متن کاملIn Vitro efficacy of antimicrobial extracts against the atypical ruminant pathogen Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri
BACKGROUND Mycoplasmosis is a common infection in human and veterinary medicine, and is associated with chronic inflammation and high morbidity. Mycoplasma species are often intrinsically resistant to many conventional antimicrobial therapies, and the resistance patterns of pathogenic mycoplasmas to commonly used medicinal (antimicrobial) plant extracts are currently unknown. METHODS Aqueous ...
متن کاملRapid detection of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia by a Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides SC capsular polysaccharide-specific antigen detection latex agglutination test.
A latex agglutination test (LAT) has been developed for the diagnosis of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP). The latex microspheres were coated with MmmSC polyclonal immunoglobulin G antiserum and detected MmmSC antigen in the serum of cattle infected with CBPP and in growth medium containing MmmSC. The specific antigen recognized by this test appeared to be the capsular polysaccharide (C...
