Evaluation of Mycoplasma Muris and Pulmonis infections in Genital and Respiratory Tracts
Authors
Abstract:
Abstract Mycoplasma pulmonis and muris infections have been associated with several diseases in conventionally housed laboratory rat and mice colonies. In naturally infected of mycoplasma pulmonis in mice and rat colonies, the respiratory organ appears to be the favored site of colonization; so, it was not surprising to see that infection spread from the site of urogenital tract to the respiratory tract. In this research, PPLO broth culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was used to detect Mycoplasma pulmonis and muris contamination in mice strain NIH. A new species of Mycoplasma muris(MYMORazi) have been identified in the nasopharyngeal, lung and vaginal samples of mice strain NIH in Razi Vaccine and serum research institute. Despite using two pair's specific primers targeting 16SrRNA gene of Mycoplasma pulmonis, detection was failed in both organs. We propose that the Mycoplasma muris strain MYMO Razi can cause infection in both organs of mouse strain NIH without presence of Mycoplasma pulmonis.

Isolation and molecular identification of Mycoplasma equigenitalium from equine genital tracts in northern India
Although Mycoplasma equigenitalium has been implicated in equine reproductive problems, its prevalence is largely unexplored due to the lack of specific diagnostic tests. To address this limitation, the authors developed and optimized species-specific primer pairs that target M. eguigenitalium rpoB (RNA polymerase B subunit) gene sequences. The specificity of the PCR assay developed in this stu...
