| survival and replication of mycoplasma species in recycled bedding sand and association with mastitis on dairy farms in utah. | mycoplasma spp., usually mycoplasma bovis, are important bovine pathogens that can cause mastitis, metritis, pneumonia, and arthritis. the currently documented routes of transmission of mycoplasma spp. are through contaminated milking equipment and by direct animal contact. the existence of environmental sources for mycoplasma spp. and their role in transmission and clinical disease is poorly characterized. mycoplasma spp. (confirmed as m. bovis in 2 of 4 samples tested using pcr) was found in r ... | 2010 | 20059918 |

| mycoplasmosis in free-ranging desert tortoises in utah and arizona. | upper respiratory tract disease (urtd) has been associated with major losses of free-ranging desert tortoises (gopherus agassizii) in the southwestern united states. this prompted a clinical examination of 63 free-ranging desert tortoises for signs of urtd and sampling for mycoplasma agassizii, the causative agent of urtd. tortoises were sampled from three sites in the eastern mojave desert (1992-93), and from three sites in the sonoran desert (1992-94). plasma samples were tested for antibodies ... | 2005 | 16456181 |
| laboratory diagnosis of atypical pneumonia. | "atypical pneumonia" is a term loosely applied to lower respiratory tract infections that are not characterized by signs and symptoms of lobar consolidation. this description can apply to disease caused by a variety of bacterial, viral and even protozoan organisms. in reality, differentiation as to etiology of pneumonia cannot be distinguished on the basis of clinical presentation. this review will discuss the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and laboratory diagnosis of mycoplasma pneumoni ... | 2000 | 10983928 |
| prevalence of chlamydia trachomatis and mycoplasma pneumoniae in children with and without pharyngitis. | the prevalence of chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma pneumoniae, group a beta-hemolytic streptococcus, and other treatable organisms was studied in children with and without pharyngitis. children aged 2 to 12 years were evaluated between november 1985 and april 1986 in three family practice offices in the salt lake city area. chlamydia trachomatis was not detected in the pharynx of any of the children studied. mycoplasma pneumoniae was cultured from 5 percent of the 242 children studied, group a ... | 1988 | 3128634 |

| clarithromycin pharmacokinetics in the desert tortoise (gopherus agassizii). | clarithromycin is a new, safe orally administered macrolide antibiotic active against mycoplasma sp. in humans. single-dose and multidose pharmacokinetic parameters were determined for clarithromycin in wild-caught desert tortoises (gopherus agassizii) seropositive for m. agassizii. clarithromycin blood levels were measured in three tortoises for up to 72 hr after a single oral dose of 7.5 mg/kg. in a second group of six tortoises, levels were measured after a dose of 15 mg/kg. noncompartmental ... | 1999 | 10367642 |
