The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and influence of different causative organisms involved in the development of pneumonia and bronchopneumonia in pigs. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from 339 pigs was examined molecular-biologically and culturally. The evaluation considered the following pathogens: Mycoplasma (M.) hyopneumoniae, Mycoplasma (M.) hyorhinis, PRRSV (US-Type), PRRSV (EU-Type), PCV-2, Influenzavirus Type A, alpha-haemolytic Streptococci, beta-haemolytic Streptococci, Pasteurella (P.) multocida, Bordetella (B.) bronchiseptica, Haemophilus (H.) parasuis and Actinobacillus (A.) pleuropneumoniae. This was followed by a pathological-anatomical examination in 168 pigs. Pathological-anatomical examination was evaluated for possible interstitial pneumonia, catarrhal-purulent bronchopneumonia and pleuritis. alpha-haemolytic Streptococci, PCV-2, H. parasuis, M. hyorhinis, M. hyopneumoniae, B. bronchiseptica, PRRSV (US-Type), P. multocida, PRRSV (EU-Type) and Influenzavirus Type A were evident in descending incidence in the BALF. A. pleuropneumoniae were only isolated culturally in two cases in the BALF. The frequency and semiquantitative detection rate in the bacteriological culture of alpha-haemolytic Steptococci, M. hyopneumoniae, P. multocida and B. bronchiseptica correlated significantly with the ascertained clinical evaluation score and the pathological-anatomical examination score. M. hyorhinis and Influenzavirus Type A only correlated with the severity degree of clinical appearance, while PCV-2 and PRRSV (US-Type) correlated with the frequency of pathological-anatomical changes. The higher the clinical score, the higher was the number of animals ascertained with five or more different pathogens. The more different causal agents were isolated in the BALF of one animal, the higher was the average pathological-anatomical examination score. For the diagnosis of pneumonia, especially when analysing facultative pathogens or secondary pathogens, a useful interpretation of analysis results is only possible in connection with a clinical and pathological evaluation.  相似文献

Associations between pathogens in healthy pigs and pigs with pneumonia   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between different pathogens in the development of pneumonia and bronchopneumonia in pigs. Samples of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from 100 pigs showing no clinical signs and 239 pigs with clinical signs of respiratory disease were examined for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Mycoplasma hyorhinis, US-type porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSV), EU-type PRRSV, porcine circovirus type 2 (pcv-2), influenza virus type A, alpha-haemolytic Streptococcus species, beta-haemolytic Streptococcus species, Pasteurella multocida, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Haemophilus parasuis and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. These potential pathogens were detected more frequently in the pigs with respiratory problems than in the pigs with no clinical signs. pcv-2 and alpha-haemolytic streptococci were the pathogens most frequently detected; A pleuropneumoniae was isolated in only two cases. There were more often associations between the organisms in the pigs with clinical signs than in the healthy pigs. In particular, alpha-haemolytic streptococci and M hyopneumoniae were both associated with the presence of M hyorhinis, EU-type PRRSV, P multocida and B bronchiseptica, and alpha-haemolytic streptococci also occurred more often in pigs that were already infected with other pathogens. P multocida and B bronchiseptica were both significantly associated with M hyopneumoniae, alpha-haemolytic streptococci, EU-type PRRSV and US-type PRRSV.  相似文献

The interaction between Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida in experimental pneumonia was investigated in conventional pigs. The experimental animals were 49 days old when inoculated with M. hyopneumoniae; they were inoculated with P. multocida after 23 days, and killed 13 days later. In pigs inoculated only with P. multocida, clinical signs and lung lesions were not observed, and the agent was not recovered. Pigs inoculated with M. hyopneumoniae developed fever, moderate cough and dyspnea which tended to disappear, and small proliferative lung lesions from which M. hyopneumoniae was isolated. Pigs inoculated with both agents had higher fever, severe cough and dyspnea which tended to aggravate, and extensive exudative lung lesions from which organisms were isolated. All animals had similar growth rates, but the group infected with both agents consumed 60% more food. Therefore, M. hyopneumoniae causes mild pneumonia, whereas P. multocida is not pathogenic alone but aggravates the pneumonia initiated by M. hyopneumoniae.  相似文献

Lungs from 191 slaughter pigs with gross lesions indicative of enzootic pneumonia of pigs (EPP) and 80 grossly normal lungs, all originating from 9 different herds, were subjected to microbiological and pathological examinations. The microbiological studies included both bacterial and mycoplasmal culture and also testing for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae antigen in tissue by indirect immunofluorescent technique. M. hyopneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida and Mycoplasma hyorhinis were detected in 83%, 43% and 37% of the pneumonic lungs, respectively. Mycoplasma flocculare was the most frequently isolated organism in the non-pneumonic lungs. The greatest amounts of macroscopic pneumonia (25.2%) were recorded in lungs with all the three agents M. hyopneumoniae, P. multocida and M. hyorhinis present. The amounts of pneumonia in lungs with M. hyopneumoniae alone and in concurrence with P. multocida, were 9.3% and 15.6%, respectively. M. hyorhinis was also, in this study, associated with higher frequency of diffuse pleuritis. These findings indicate that M. hyorhinis might be involved in the pathogenesis of pneumonia in slaughter pigs. Ninety-six per cent of the isolates of P. multocida from pneumonic lungs could be characterized as type A. In the herds which had the most severe pneumonia problems, toxin production was detected in 83% of the P. multocida strains while only 28% were toxigenic in herds with subclinical to moderate pneumonia problems.  相似文献

The diagnosis of enzootic pneumonia at the herd level should be based on a combination of different methods. Currently, clinical examination is usually considered to be a low value method, particularly compared to the direct detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in lung lesions by PCR. The present study compared the value of accurate clinical examination (including the quantitation of coughing), PCR on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and serological testing of blood samples for the purpose of diagnosing enzootic pneumonia. The coughing index (average % of pigs coughing per minute of observation) was determined in fattening pigs from 59 herds, and ranged from 0% to 6.7% with a median of 2.4%. Five hundred and ninety bronchiolar lavage samples and 1179 serum samples were taken from pigs in those 59 herds and tested for M. hyopneumoniae specific DNA and antibodies, respectively. In herds where ?50% of lavage fluids were PCR positive, the likelihood of a higher coughing index was increased by 76% (OR: 1.76; 95% CI: 1.14-2.72) compared to herds with <50% of positive samples. For antibodies (determined by ELISA) a seroprevalence of ?50% increased the likelihood of a high coughing index by 50% (OR: 1.50; 95% CI: 1.03-2.20). In 78.1% of all herds with a seroprevalence of ?50% against M. hyopneumoniae, the PCR-prevalence and the coughing index were above the median (50% and 2.4%, respectively). It was concluded that in fattening pigs a quantitative assessment of the onset of coughing - typically dry and non-productive - improves the diagnosis of enzootic pneumonia and can occasionally substitute for the detection of M. hyopneumoniae by PCR.  相似文献

A PCR assay was validated for the detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in porcine lung tissue. The detection limit of the assay was 0.18 colony-forming units/g of lung sample spiked with M. hyopneumoniae. In field validation, 426 pigs from 220 cases were examined for M. hyopneumoniae infection by M. hyopneumoniae PCR and a fluorescent antibody (FA) test. In total, 103 pig lungs (24.2%) were positive in the PCR test, and 69 pig lungs (16.2%) were positive in the FA test, among which, 62 pigs were positive for both PCR and FA test. Most of the PCR-positive but FA test-negative cases had lesions compatible with M. hyopneumoniae infection. With Bayesian modeling, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the PCR were determined to be 97.3% and 93.0%, respectively.  相似文献

The objectives of this study were to investigate the interactions between Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and to establish a model for studying the pathogenesis of and testing intervention strategies for the control of PCV2-associated porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC). Sixty-seven pigs were randomly assigned to four groups. Group 1 (n=17) pigs served as controls, group 2 (n=17) pigs were inoculated with M. hyopneumoniae, group 3 (n=17) pigs were dual infected with M. hyopneumoniae and PCV2, and group 4 (n=16) pigs were inoculated with PCV2. Pigs were inoculated intratracheally with M. hyopneumoniae at 4 weeks of age followed by intranasal inoculation with PCV2 at 6 weeks of age. Dual-infected pigs had moderate dyspnea, lethargy, and reduced weight gain. The overall severity of macroscopic lung lesions, PCV2-associated microscopic lesions in lung and lymphoid tissues, and the amount of PCV2-antigen associated with these lesions were significantly (P <0.05) higher in dual-infected pigs compared with all other groups. Four of 17 (23.5%) dual-infected pigs had decreased growth rate and severe lymphoid depletion and granulomatous lymphadenitis associated with high amounts of PCV2-antigen consistent with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). PCV2-antigen in lung tissue was most often associated with M. hyopneumoniae-induced peribronchial lymphoid hyperplasia, suggesting that this is an important site for PCV2 replication in the lung. This study indicates that M. hyopneumoniae potentiates the severity of PCV2-associated lung and lymphoid lesions, increases the amount and prolongs the presence of PCV2-antigen, and increases the incidence of PMWS in pigs.  相似文献

Relationships between macroscopic lesions and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mhp), Pasteurella multocida (Pm), Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App), Haemophilus parasuis (Hps) and Streptococcus suis (Ssuis) of the lungs of 3731 slaughter pigs from 125 herds were assessed in France. Pneumonia and pleuritis were the most frequent lesions (69.3% and 15% of the lungs, respectively). Mhp, Pm, App, Ssuis and Hps were detected in 69.3%, 36.9%, 20.7%, 6.4% and 0.99% of the lungs, respectively. Mhp and Pm were associated with pneumonia at both the pig and herd levels. Pleuritis was not associated with any pathogen at the pig level, but was associated with a high percentage of pigs PCR-positive for App at the herd level. Measures focused on control of Mhp, Pm and App should significantly reduce the occurrence of both pneumonia and pleuritis.  相似文献

Microorganisms associated with pneumonia in slaughter weight swine.   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1       下载免费PDF全文
The lungs of 334 pigs were obtained from two slaughter plants in Minnesota and examined in detail. Macroscopic and microscopic evaluation, direct fluorescence for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and bacterial culture were done on all of them and a subsample of 50 were selected for virus culture. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida and Haemophilus spp. were detected in 24.0%, 34.1% and 27.0% of the lungs, commonly in conjunction with each other. One isolate of Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 was detected and this represents the first report of its presence in the United States. No virus was detected in any of the lungs. Lungs with both M. hyopneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida had the greatest amount of macroscopic pneumonia (9.8% of the lung). Lungs with M. hyopneumoniae or P. multocida alone had 4.9% and 5.2% of the lung involved with pneumonia respectively. Lungs with Haemophilus sp. Taxon "minor group" had 3.8% of the lung involved which was not significantly different from lungs with none of these organisms being detected (1.6%). There was a positive correlation between the extent of M. hyopneumoniae infection, as scored by FAT and the amount of macroscopic pneumonia present (r = 0.46; P less than 0.001). Likewise, there was a positive correlation between the estimated concentration of P. multocida present, as scored by the relative number of colonies on blood agar and the amount of macroscopic pneumonia present (r = 0.60; P less than 0.001). Microscopically, the amount of lymphoreticular proliferation, polymorphonuclear cells and alveolar macrophages were evaluated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

A longitudinal study was carried out to investigate the diversity and persistence of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) strains in four infected pig herds. In each herd, 20 pigs were randomly selected and blood and/or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid was collected at 6, 10, 14 and 26 weeks of age. In the BAL fluid, quantitative PCR and MLVA (multiple-locus variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) analysis) testing were performed for detection and typing of M. hyopneumoniae strains, respectively. At 26 weeks of age, the prevalence and severity of lung lesions were recorded at slaughter (minimum 50 pigs belonging to the same batch as the investigated pigs). The percentage of pigs testing positive on qPCR increased from 35% at 6 weeks to 96% at 26 weeks of age. With MLVA testing, positive pigs were found from 14 weeks onwards. Within each herd, only one distinct strain was detected, although clonal variants were identified in two herds. In three of the herds, the strain remained present until slaughter age. The percentage of pigs with Mycoplasma-like lesions ranged from 38% to 98%, and the average pneumonia score ranged from 1.7 to 11.9, respectively. The present field study documented that within a herd, mainly one distinct M. hyopneumoniae strain was present that persisted in the same animals for at least 12 weeks. This implies that the immune response of the animals following infection is not able to rapidly clear the infection from the respiratory tract.  相似文献

The 6-chloro analogue of norfloxacin (compound A) administered continuously in the feed at 400 ppm for 21 days markedly reduced the extent and activity of pneumonic lesions in pigs with pneumonia induced experimentally with an homogenate of pneumonic lung and broth cultures of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Norfloxacin at 100 ppm or compound A at 200 ppm in the feed did not reduce the extent of lung lesions, although half the pigs treated with norfloxacin had lesions which appeared histologically to be healing. M hyopneumoniae was detected either by culture or immunofluorescence in the lungs of 60 per cent of the pigs treated with compound A at 400 ppm compared with all the pigs in the other groups. These results were related to the amount of drug in the lungs and body fluids during therapy. Only compound A at 400 ppm produced concentrations in the lungs and bronchial secretions exceeding the minimum inhibitory concentration against M hyopneumoniae. Mycoplasmacidal concentrations were not reached either in the lungs or bronchial secretions which might account partly for the frequent detection of M hyopneumoniae in the lungs after treatment. Drug resistance did not appear to be responsible for the persistence of M hyopneumoniae in vivo since the M hyopneumoniae isolates from the pigs after therapy were sensitive in vitro to both quinolones. As daily weight gain and feed-conversion efficiency improved in all groups of treated pigs compared with the controls, these effects were probably unrelated to the antimycoplasmal activities of the two quinolones.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate immune responses induced by administration of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae bacterin to pigs. Animals-60 healthy 7- to 10-day-old cross-bred boars. PROCEDURE: Pigs were assigned to 1 of 4 pig groups (15 pigs/group): vaccinated, challenged; vaccinated, nonchallenged; nonvaccinated, challenged; nonvaccinated, nonchallenged. Vaccinated pigs received IM injections of a mycoplasma bacterin on days 0 and 14, whereas nonvaccinated pigs received saline (0.9% NaCl) solution. Pigs in the challenged groups were inoculated intratracheally with M hyopneumoniae on day 42. Pigs were euthanatized and necropsied 41, 44, 48, and 70 days after the first vaccination, and proportion of lung surface with pneumonic lesions was determined. Percentage of lymphocyte subpopulations and number of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secreting lymphocytes in blood and tissues, cytokine and antibody concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, and serum antibody concentrations were determined. RESULTS: Vaccination against and infection with M hyopneumoniae induced a local mucosal immune response in the respiratory tract of pigs. Proportion of lung surface with pneumonic lesions in vaccinated challenged pigs was reduced on day 70, compared with nonvaccinated challenged pigs. Vaccination stimulated the production of M hyopneumoniae-specific IFN-gamma secreting blood lymphocytes. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha concentration in BAL fluid on day 70 was increased in nonvaccinated challenged pigs, compared with vaccinated challenged pigs. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Vaccination against M hyopneumoniae induced local, mucosal, humoral, and cellular immune responses. Moreover, vaccination reduced the severity of lung lesions in challenged pigs, suggesting that mucosal antibodies, mediation of the inflammatory response, and cell-mediated immune responses are important for control of mycoplasmal pneumonia in pigs.  相似文献

We examined nasal swab and lung homogenate samples collected from pigs experimentally and naturally infected with Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae for the detection of M. hyopneumoniae by the nested PCR (nPCR) and culture methods. In the 23 experimentally infected pigs, M. hyopneumoniae was commonly detected in nasal swabs by the nPCR and culture methods at 4 weeks after inoculation, and there was a significant correlation (P<0.01) between the titers of viable organisms in nasal swabs and in lung homogenates in the experimentally inoculated pigs. In the naturally infected pigs, on the other hand, discrepancies in detection were found between nasal swab and lung homogenate samples in 17 of 36 cases, although the presence of gross lung lesions correlated relatively well with the detection of organisms from the samples. Our results indicated that the diagnosis of mycoplasmal pneumonia by nPCR in individual pigs with nasal swabs is reliable under these experimental conditions. At present, nPCR with nasal swabs should only be used for monitoring the disease status at the herd level under field conditions.  相似文献

The in vitro activities of 12 quinolones and four antibiotics were determined against 15 veterinary mycoplasmal species and four species of bacteria commonly involved in respiratory infections in pigs. The newer quinolones were markedly more active in vitro against a wide range of mycoplasmas than nalidixic acid and the earlier quinolones. Against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae ciprofloxacin was the most active quinolone with a geometric mean minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) against 16 strains of 0.01 microgram ml-1 compared with 0.04 microgram ml-1 for tiamulin, 0.06 microgram ml-1 for tylosin, 0.17 microgram ml-1 for oxytetracycline and 0.23 microgram ml-1 for gentamicin. M hyosynoviae was less sensitive to the quinolones with mean MICs of 0.6 microgram ml-1 for ofloxacin and 0.7 microgram ml-1 for ciprofloxacin compared with 0.034 microgram ml-1, or less, for tiamulin. Norfloxacin and its 6-chloro analogue were both mycoplasmacidal in vitro at five or 10 times their MICs against M hyopneumoniae UCD4. Tiamulin was mycoplasmastatic. The quinolones were also active against porcine Bordetella bronchiseptica and Pasteurella multocida strains and Haemophilus species. Ciprofloxacin was the most active quinolone with mean MICs of 0.58 microgram ml-1 against B bronchiseptica (nine strains), 0.026 microgram ml-1 against P multocida (five strains) and 0.01 microgram ml-1, or less, against Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae (nine strains) and H parasuis (two strains) compared with mean MICs of from 0.5 microgram ml-1 to 64 micrograms ml-1, or more, for the antibiotics. This combination of excellent mycoplasmacidal activity against M hyopneumoniae and good antibacterial activity, suggests that the quinolones have great potential for treating respiratory infections in pigs, including enzootic pneumonia.  相似文献

Evaluation of tiamulin for treatment of mycoplasmal pneumonia in swine   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
During 3 trials, using affected pigs of various ages, tiamulin was evaluated for treatment of experimentally induced mycoplasmal pneumonia. Pneumonia was induced in respiratory tract disease-free swine by intratracheal inoculation of a lung homogenate containing Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Eleven days after inoculation, when more than 20% of pigs were coughing, pigs were allotted to 3 or 4 groups (n = 8 pigs each) and were given regimens of no medication or 60 mg, 120 mg, or 180 mg of tiamulin/L of drinking water for 10 days. Twenty-one days after cessation of medication, pigs were euthanatized and then were necropsied. Results obtained from the 3 trials did not indicate significant difference among treatment groups in severity of macroscopic or microscopic lesions induced by M hyopneumoniae or in detection of M hyopneumoniae by use of immunofluorescent technique. Clinical evaluations, daily gain, and feed efficiency did not differ significantly among treatment groups. In this study, tiamulin administration did not have beneficial effects in swine with mycoplasmal pneumonia.  相似文献

Dual infection of pigs with swine influenza virus (SIV) and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae was carried out to compare the clinical and pathological effects of dual infection in caesarian derived and colostrums deprived (CDCD) pigs, with that of a single infection with M. hyopneumoniae. In Experiment 1, 40-day-old CDCD pigs were inoculated only with SIV (A/Sw/Hok/2/81, H1N1). The virus was isolated from nasal swabs for 5-6 days. None of these pigs showed clinical signs of infection throughout the experimental period. These results suggested that this strain can infect pigs but is only slightly pathogenic when it is inoculated singly to a CDCD pig. In Experiment 2, 60-day-old CDCD pigs were inoculated with M. hyopneumoniae and then were inoculated with SIV (A/Sw/Hok/2/81) at 1 week (MHYO-7d-SIV-7d group) or 3 weeks (MHYO-21d-SIV-7d group) after M. hyopneumoniae inoculation. Macroscopically, dark red-to-purple lung lesions were observed in all of pigs at 14 or 28 days post-inoculation. Percentages of dark red-to-purple lung lesions in dual infection groups (MHYO-7d-SIV-7d group: 18.7 +/- 4.2%, MHYO-21d-SIV-7d group: 23.0 +/- 8.0%) were significantly (P < 0.05) increased compared to those of each control group in which pigs were inoculated only with M. hyopneumoniae (MHYO-14d group: 4.7 +/- 2.9%, MHYO-28 group: 3.3 +/- 2.4%). Microscopically, bronchial epithelial lesions (epithelial disruption, degeneration, hyperplasia and formation of microabscess) were frequently observed in dark red-to-purple lung lesions of only the dual infection groups. These results demonstrate that the lung lesion of pigs inoculated with M. hyopneumoniae and SIV is more severe than that of pigs inoculated only with M. hyopneumoniae.  相似文献

The objective of this experimental study was to determine the effects of aerial ammonia on disease development and bacterial colonization in weaned pigs inoculated with toxigenic Pasteurella multocida and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Two groups of 10 pigs each were continuously exposed to 50 and 100 p.p.m. ammonia, respectively, and compared to a non-exposed control group of 20 pigs. Following aerosol inoculation with M. hyopneumoniae at day 9, all pigs were aerosol-inoculated with toxigenic P. multocida type A at days 28, 42 and 56. At day 63 they were euthanized. Clinical signs including coughing and respiratory distress were present in all groups following inoculation. No significant differences could be established in the extent or frequency of pneumonia between ammonia-exposed pigs and controls, or in the extent of conchal atrophy, the frequency of isolation of toxigenic P. multocida from conchae, tonsils, lungs and kidneys, or the average daily weight gain. The recovery of toxigenic P. multocida from nasal swabs following inoculation was significantly greater in pigs exposed to 50 p.p.m. ammonia or more as compared to the control group. In conclusion, high levels of ammonia combined with inoculations with M. hyopneumoniae and toxigenic P. multocida had no significant effect on disease development, but may have enhanced colonization by toxigenic P. multocida on the nasal turbinates.  相似文献

A long-acting oxytetracycline formulation was evaluated for control of rhinitis induced experimentally in pigs with a capsular type A, toxin-negative, low-passage strain of Pasteurella multocida. The pigs were 6 to 7 weeks old and were naturally infected with Haemophilus parasuis. The H parasuis infection was thought to predispose to establishment of P multocida in the nasal cavity. A long-acting oxytetracycline formulation was given IM at the rate of 20 mg/kg, 4 times at 5-day intervals. Medication reduced (P less than 0.05) the severity of turbinate atrophy and the proportion of pigs with P multocida and H parasuis in their nasal cavities. Numbers of colonies of P multocida and H parasuis isolated were also less in medicated pigs.  相似文献

In an enzootic pneumonia-free Australian pig herd, an outbreak of a severe respiratory disease in the grow-out herd was initially diagnosed as acute tracheitis and pneumonia precipitated by the dusty environment, with a superimposed mixed infection of Pasteurella multocida and Arcanobacterium pyogenes. Culture for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Salmonella sp and fungi was negative. The outbreak persisted. Subsequently, gross lesions consistent with enzootic pneumonia occurred, but histological lesions were equivocal and definitive tests for M hyopneumoniae remained negative. Eighteen months after the initial outbreak, gross and histological lesions were consistent with enzootic pneumonia but serological tests were still negative. Almost 2 years later, one of four nasal swabs was positive by the polymerase chain reaction test for M hyopneumoniae, and then lung samples were sporadically positive. The pneumonic disease became endemic in the herd. Gross lesions consistent with enzootic pneumonia occurred in another herd belonging to the same company nearly 2 years after the initial outbreak. Again, results of laboratory tests were inconsistent. Despite sporadic positive polymerase chain reaction tests for M hyopneumoniae, the respiratory disease resolved within 4 months and there has been no clinical evidence of enzootic pneumonia during the subsequent 4 years. These cases raise important questions about the role of the diagnostic tests and their interpretation, and the ecology of M hyopneumoniae and its role in enzootic pneumonia.  相似文献
