The type strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, M. flocculare, M. dispar, and M. ovipneumoniae, all characterized by nipple-less colonies on solid media, were compared serologically. By indirect hemagglutination and by complement fixation tests they were found to constitute a related group. By crossed immunoelectrophoresis a sharing of common antigens was demonstrated, whereas no cross reactivity was noted by the metabolism inhibition test.The type strains of Mycoplasma hyorhinis and Mycoplasma bovirhinis were included in the study for comparison. Although some cross reaction was noted, they appeared just moderately related to the nipple-less group as well as to each other. 相似文献

Hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) are Gram-negative bacteria that parasitize the erythrocyte surface of a wide variety of mammals. The present study aimed at investigating the occurrence of hemoplasmas in beef cattle in the Brazilian Pantanal, an area endemic for bovine trypanosomiasis in South America. Additionally, the objective of this study was to characterize molecularly the genotypes of the found hemoplasmas. For this purpose, blood and serum samples of 400 beef cattle were collected from five properties in Corumbá, Nhecolândia sub-region, Mato Grosso do Sul, in Midwest Brazil. Blood samples underwent DNA extraction and standard 16S rRNA gene-based PCR assays for hemoplasmas. The sequences obtained were submitted to phylogenetic inferences, distance analysis, and genotype diversity. The Indirect Enzyme-Linked Immunoabsorbent Assay (iELISA) indicated the presence of anti-Trypanosoma vivax IgG antibodies in 89.75% of the animals sampled, confirming the endemicity of said agent in the studied region. Among the 400 bovine blood samples tested, 2.25% (9/400) were positive for hemoplasmas in cPCR. The phylogenetic analysis of the obtained sequences confirmed the presence of 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos' and Mycoplasma wenyonii DNA in 0.5% (2/400) and 1.75% (7/400) animals, respectively. Five genotypes of M. wenyonii and one of 'Candidatus M. haemobos' were detected among the sequenced amplicons. The present study showed low molecular occurrence of haemoplasmas in beef cattle sampled in the Brazilian Pantanal, an area endemic for bovine trypanosomiasis. Despite of the conservation of the 16S rRNA gene, there was considerable diversity of hemoplasma genotypes infecting the sampled beef cattle. 相似文献

Bovine mycoplasmas: cultural and biochemical studies. II 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
A number of biochemical and biological tests have been performed using reference strains of presently known mycoplasma species or sero-groups of bovine origin. The purpose of these investigations was partly to fulfil the requirements of “The Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of Mycoplasmatares” in describing new species of mycoplasmas, and partly to select methods which might be of value in daily diagnostic work. Concerning the latter point, the following tests are recommended for strains belonging to the digitonin resistant genus Acholeplasma: catabolism of galactose, xylose, aesculin and arbutin. In the genus Mycoplasma, which is digitonin sensitive, 5 tests are of special value: catabolism of glucose and arginine, phosphatase activity, formation of “film and spots”, and serum digestion. 相似文献

Although hemoplasma infection in domestic animals has been well documented, little is known about the prevalence and genetic diversity of these bacteria in wild rodents. The present work aimed to investigate the occurrence of hemotrophic mycoplasmas in wild rodents from five Brazilian biomes, assessing the 16S rRNA phylogenetic position of hemoplasma species by molecular approach. Spleen tissues were obtained from 500 rodents, comprising 52 different rodent species trapped between 2000 and 2011. DNA samples were submitted to previously described PCR protocols for amplifying Mycoplasma spp. based on 16S rRNA, followed by sequencing and phylogenetic inferences. Among 457 rodent spleen samples showing absence of inhibitors, 100 (21.9%) were PCR positive to Mycoplasma spp. The occurrence of hemotropic mycoplasmas among all sampled rodents was demonstrated in all five biomes and ranged from 9.3% (7/75) to 26.2% (38/145). The Blastn analysis showed that amplified sequences had a percentage of identity ranging from 86 to 99% with other murine hemoplasmas. The ML phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene of 24 positive randomly selected samples showed the presence of ten distinct groups, all clustering within the Mycoplasma haemofelis. The phylogenetic assessment suggests the circulation of novel hemoplasma species in rodents from different biomes in Brazil. 相似文献

Seventy bovine mycoplasma strains recovered from cases of calf pneumonia, and all displaying the cultural characteristics of Mycoplasma dispar, were compared to the type strain of this species by the disc growth inhibition test, the metabolism inhibition test and indirect epi-immunofluorescence test applied to colonies on agar. Sixty-seven strains were found to be identical with M. dispar. The remaining three strains formed a distinct serogroup partially separate from the type strain of M. dispar, but the difference from the type strain was not considered great enough to warrant the establishment of a subspecies. 相似文献

Strains of Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae and Pasteurella haemolytica isolated from sheep affected with chronic pneumonia were inoculated by endobronchial route to conventionally-reared and SPF (Specific Pathogen-Free) lambs. Changes resembling those of the naturally-occurring disease were produced in most lambs given the organisms in combination and in some given M. ovipneumoniae alone. Similar but less extensive changes were seen in SPF lambs and fewer animals were affected. Different strains of M. ovipneumoniae did not affect the extent of changes produced in SPF lambs. M. ovipneumoniae became established in the lungs of both types of sheep; P. haemolytica did so less readily.
It was concluded that chronic pneumonia may be reproduced in conventional animals by combined inoculation of M. ovipneumoniae and P. haemolytica. Age and status of immunity to mycoplasmas may account for the different responses of conventional and SPF lambs. 相似文献

It would be an advantage, under many circumstances, to be able to make use of polyvalent antisera in the process of identifying mycoplasmas. As the indirect immunofluorescence test is sufficiently sensitive and also generally accepted as being rather specific, this technique was chosen to investigate whether polyvalent antisera are applicable in routine identification of mycoplasmas. Three polyvalent sera were used, each consisting of 9 or 10 rabbit antisera raised against 29 of the more common species of the genus Mycoplasma. Twenty-six field strains were examined. One strain did not react with any of the 3 polyvalent antisera although it was later identified as M. bovigenitalium. The remaining 25 strains reacted with 1 and only 1 of the polyvalent antisera and were subsequently identified by immunofluorescence utilizing monospecific antisera. Strains of the following species were identified: M. arginini, M. bovigenitalium, M. bovis, M. bovoculi, M. canis, M. capricolum, M. cynos, M. edwardii, M. hominis, M. hyorhinis, M. molare, M. mycoides subsp. mycoides and M. opalescens. It is concluded that polyvalent antisera may be used in identification procedures and thereby permit the use of a limited number of monospecific antisera without preceding biochemical testing. 相似文献

Hemoplasmas are ubiquitous pleomorphic and epicellular bacteria detected in erythrocytes in several species. In Brazil, studies on hemoplasmas have not included information on occurrence, clinical signs, and risk factors in dogs. This paper investigates the occurrence of hemoplasmas in dogs, focusing on risk factors and clinical status. Conventional PCR for the four types of canine hemoplasmas was performed in 331 blood samples collected from dogs clinically treated at a teaching veterinary hospital. Of all samples, 17/331 (5.1%) were positive for Mycoplasma haemocanis and 6/331 (1.8%) were positive for a ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum-like’ organism. Risk factors included the presence of vectors, old age, dog bite wounds, and neoplastic diseases. In the multivariate analysis, a 4.40 odds ratio in dogs with vector-borne diseases indicated risk for hemoplasmosis. There was correlation between hemoplasma infection and neoplastic disease, suggesting that neoplastic conditions are a risk factor for hemoplasma infection in dogs. 相似文献

Mycoplasmas which had in various ways proved to be related to Mycoplasma mycoides were studied with a view to classification and nomenclature. Representative strains of M. mycoides — subspecies mycoides (PG1) and subspecies capri (PG3) — and of the as yet unclassified bovine serogroups 7 (PG50) and L (B144P) were compared serologically and by DNA-DNA hybridization. The serological methods used (metabolism inhibition, growth inhibition and immunofluorescence) are usually considered to be species-specific.
- The two subspecies of M. mycoides can be clearly separated by all three serological methods, whereas the hybridization studies revealed great similarity between them, the relatedness value being 0.70.
- The two serogroups (7 and L) cross-reacted with each other in all three serological tests, and their relatedness value was 0.83. The relatedness value between group 7 and M. mycoides subsp. mycoides was found to be 0.72, and only limited cross-reactions were demonstrated by immunofluorescence and growth inhibition.
- Although groups 7 and L were found only to a slight degree to be genetically related to M. bovigenitalium with a DNA homology of 20 % or less, a serological cross-reaction between group 7 and M. bovigenitalium has been demonstrated by growth inhibition in previous studies.
