Background: Mycoplasma is one of the most important pathogens of respiratory system in poultry. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to identify Mycoplasma spp. isolated from pigeons. METHODS: Sixteen pooled samples were provided and cultured on PPLO medium and finally the DNA was extracted from the resulting single colonies. RESULTS: Through 16S rRNA gene amplification Mycoplasma genus...

one of the main problems in cell culture is mycoplasma infection. it can extensively affect cell physiology and metabolism. as the applications of cell culture increase in research, industrial production and cell therapy, more concerns about mycoplasma contamination and detection will arise. this review will provide valuable information about: 1. the ways in which cells are contaminated and the...

a 2-year-old male pekingese dog was referred to shiraz university’s veterinary teaching hospital for anorexia and depression. the case had no history of surgery. physical examination revealed no abnormalities except mild depression and fever. small, coccoid, epicellular bacteria were detected on erythrocytes by microscopic examination of the giemsa-stained blood smears. abnormalities noted in t...

introduction: ureaplasma uriealyticum is one of the most important causes of nongonococcal and nonspecific urethritis (ngu & nsu) in men. mycoplasma hominis too has a causal role in ngu & nsu. this study aimed to investigate whether it is possible to detect mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma uriealyticum in first voided urine samples in men suffering from ngu & nsu without complaints of urethral...

Routine blood analysis indicated the presence of Mycoplasma-like bodies in a guigna (Leopardus guigna). Evidence infection with Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum was found samples using PCR and DNA sequencing 16S rRNA gene Mycoplasma. spp. are documented cats but their role transmission to populations requires investigation.

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 respirat...

Mycoplasma are the smallest free–living organisms which can grow on artificial media. Although some Mycoplasma are normal commensals, others are proven pathogens of respiratory and urogenital tracts.In this survey, 221 collected samples of 121 patients with urogenital infections (54.7%) and 100 patients with respiratory infections (45.3%) were examined. These patients were either referred to or...
