| inhibition of nadh oxidase and lactate dehydrogenase of mycoplasma gallisepticum by copper complexes of 2,2'-bipyridyl analogues. | in the presence of copper, 2,2'-bipyridyl analogues possess growth-inhibitory activity against mycoplasma gallisepticum. inhibition of the energy yielding metabolism plays a role in the mechanism of action. we showed that probably inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase and nadh oxidase is involved. both enzymes were inhibited in vitro and in vivo by several copper 2,2'-bipyridyl complexes. a two-step mechanism of action is proposed, i.e. first a copper complex enters the cell, then after dissociati ... | 1987 | 3663238 |
| a species-specific dna probe for the detection of mycoplasma gallisepticum. | an 800-base-pair dna fragment from a partial genomic library of mycoplasma gallisepticum was selected and used as a probe for the selective detection of this avian pathogen. the specificity and sensitivity of this probe were demonstrated by using dot blot and southern hybridizations. | 1987 | 3666965 |
| sealed vesicles prepared by fusing mycoplasma gallisepticum membranes and preformed lipid vesicles. | sealed vesicles were obtained by fusing mycoplasma gallisepticum membranes with asolectin-cholesterol vesicles. the fusion was induced by freezing and thawing followed by a brief sonication treatment and was detected using a fluorescence sedimentation behavior in a sucrose density gradient and were shown to be impermeable to small solutes. the advantages of such fused preparations for transport studies in mycoplasmas are discussed. | 1987 | 3667215 |
| kinetics of cholesterol and phospholipid exchange between mycoplasma membranes and lipid vesicles. | the following modifications in the lipid composition of mycoplasma gallisepticum or m. capricolum membranes led to changes in the rates of [14c]cholesterol and [14c]phospholipid exchange between cell membranes and an excess of small unilamellar vesicles: 1) increase in the cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio from 0.25 to 0.92; 2) incorporation of synthetic, cross-linked phosphatidylethanolamine (pe) derivatives, 3) incorporation of sphingomyelin (spm); and 4) increase in the phosphatidylglycero ... | 1987 | 3667216 |
| development of a biotinylated probe for the rapid detection of mycoplasma gallisepticum. | mycoplasma gallisepticum causes respiratory diseases in the form of tracheitis and air sacculitis in chickens and turkeys. it is a major cause of reduced egg production, reduced hatchability, and downgrading of carcasses. current means of diagnosis depend on the isolation and identification of the organisms, or on serological assays to detect serum antibodies. the evaluation of avian sera for m. gallisepticum antibodies is becoming more difficult to interpret, and thus less useful, due to the in ... | 1987 | 3667241 |
| evaluation of factors associated with infection of commercial layers with mycoplasma gallisepticum and m. synoviae. | information on factors possibly associated with the risk of infection with mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) or m. synoviae (ms) were collected from nearly 400 layer flocks in california. factors associated with the probability of flock infection with either mg or ms were identified, and their magnitude was quantified by statistical analysis. more frequent administration of several vaccines was associated with decreased probability of both mg and ms infection of flocks. also identified were housing ... | 1987 | 3675422 |
| economic impact of mycoplasma gallisepticum and m. synoviae in commercial layer flocks. | an egg-production function was constructed, using data collected from 366 commercial layer flocks in california, to predict the impact of mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) and m. synoviae (ms) on egg production while controlling for confounding factors. in the first and second cycles, respectively, an mg-infected flock produced 12 and 5 fewer eggs per hen than an uninfected flock. flocks that became infected with mg after f-strain vaccination produced 6 eggs/hen more than unvaccinated infected flock ... | 1987 | 3675423 |
| comparison of culturing mycoplasma gallisepticum from fresh eggs and 18-day-old embryos. | twenty-four 70-week-old and sixteen 27-week-old white leghorn hens were challenged with r strain mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) by injection into the caudal thoracic air sac and infraorbital sinus. eggs were collected daily and cultured within 7 days or incubated for 18 days. vitelline membranes of eggs were cultured directly; in 18-day-old embryos, cultures were taken from the yolk sac, air sacs, and oral cavity. culture of vitelline membrane of eggs within 2 days was compared with culture of eg ... | 1987 | 3675426 |
| detection and differentiation of mycoplasma gallisepticum and m. synoviae antibodies in chicken serum using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | affinity-purified sheep igg anti-chicken igg horseradish peroxidase conjugate was utilized in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) to detect mycoplasma gallisepticum- and m. synoviae-specific antibodies in chicken sera. antigen, conjugate and substrate concentrations, and incubation times were adjusted to provide maximum differentiation between positive and negative sera. use of phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.05% tween 20 for washing and diluting steps and use of normal sheep ser ... | 1986 | 3729859 |
| evaluation of protection against mycoplasma gallisepticum infection in chickens vaccinated with the f strain of m. gallisepticum. | the effect of vaccination with the f strain of mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) on protection against challenge with a tylosin-resistant strain of mg was evaluated. white leghorn chickens vaccinated via eyedrop at 6 weeks of age were subsequently challenged with various dilutions of the tylosin-resistant mg strain, as were unvaccinated controls. three days later, tracheal swabs were collected and cultured in medium with and without tylosin to distinguish between the vaccine and challenge strains. t ... | 1986 | 3729860 |
| triton x-100-solubilized mycoplasma gallisepticum and m. synoviae elisa antigens. | triton x-100-solubilized mycoplasma gallisepticum and m. synoviae elisa antigens were found to be more specific and sensitive than six other antigens at a concentration of 250 ng protein/0.1 ml per microtiter plate well. | 1986 | 3729864 |
| infectious sinusitis in coturnix quails in brazil. | in brazil, mycoplasmas were isolated from the sinuses of japanese quails (coturnix coturnix japonica) from two commercial flocks affected with sinusitis. the major respiratory signs and gross lesions are described. based on serological and biochemical results, the mycoplasmas isolated were identified as mycoplasma gallisepticum. one of the isolates was pathogenic for chickens. | 1986 | 3729866 |
| observations on commercial layers vaccinated with mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) bacterin on a multiple-age site endemically infected with mg. | a commercially available inactivated mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) bacterin was administered to chickens on a multiple-age farm endemically infected with mg. a total of 3400 mg-free pullets were vaccinated with the mg bacterin at 19 weeks of age, and 4300 unvaccinated pullets served as controls. the vaccinated group became serologically positive by the rapid plate agglutination (rpa) test within 3 weeks, and the unvaccinated group became positive in 7 weeks. the hemagglutination-inhibition test ... | 1986 | 3729876 |
| response of chickens to inoculation with a temperature-sensitive mutant of mycoplasma gallisepticum. | newly hatched chickens were inoculated intranasally with either the s6 or ts 100 strain of mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) or they were left uninoculated. the three groups of chickens did not differ discernibly in body, spleen, or bursa weight during the 27-day sampling period. however, the s6-inoculated chickens showed a more pronounced cellular response in the nasal passages and had nearly complete lymphoid depletion in the spleens. the ts 100-inoculated birds expressed only a mild cellular reac ... | 1986 | 3729884 |
| a statistical model to optimize enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay parameters for detection of mycoplasma gallisepticum and m. synoviae antibodies in egg yolk. | an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was developed to quantify mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) and m. synoviae (ms) antibodies in egg-yolk extract. various parameters of elisa were evaluated and optimized. a statistical model was developed to study the relationship between elisa absorbance (a) and antigen concentration, antibody concentration, and time of reading of the test. these factors explained 62% of the variability in a for the mg antigen and 74% of the variability in a for the ms a ... | 1986 | 3729885 |
| comparison of egg yolk and serum for the detection of mycoplasma gallisepticum and m. synoviae antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | egg yolk was evaluated in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) as an alternative source of antibodies for detection of mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) and m. synoviae (ms) infections in chickens. there was no statistically significant difference (p greater than 0.05) between the elisa geometric mean titers (gmts) of saline-diluted egg yolk and chloroform-extracted egg yolk, and both preparations had a high correlation coefficient (0.87 for mg; 0.97 for ms). the saline-diluted and chlorofo ... | 1986 | 3729886 |
| 31p-nmr studies of mycoplasma gallisepticum cells using a continuous perfusion technique. | 31p-nmr studies of mycoplasma gallisepticum cells have been carried out using a continuous perfusion technique; these are the first such studies with this organism. using this technique, glucose metabolism was monitored in the intact organisms, and cell extracts were prepared to identify the intermediates. under glycolytic conditions, high levels of fructose-1,6-diphosphate were observed, indicating that this sugar may play a key role in the regulation of metabolism. the level of phosphoenolpyru ... | 1986 | 3732520 |
| effects of dose of antigen and social environment on antibody response of high and low antibody response chickens. | chickens selected for high (ha) and low (la) antibody response were exposed to 10-fold doses of red blood cell and killed bacterial antigens while in three different social environments. antibody responses of the ha and la line chickens differed most in the socialized environment and at lower doses of antigen. dose effects were most pronounced in la-line chickens whereas relationship of humans to chickens was most important to ha-line chickens. socialized chickens were more consistent than ignor ... | 1986 | 3737505 |

| prophylactic efficacy of 3-acetyl-4''-isovaleryl tylosin in a mycoplasma gallisepticum-induced airsacculitis infection. | formulations of 3-acetyl-4''-isovaleryl tylosin (aiv) were evaluated for oral efficacy in a mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) airsacculitis infection. aiv administered by gavage, feed, or water was more effective than tylosin in preventing airsacculitis. an aiv tartrate formulation administered in drinking water to chickens infected with a macrolide-sensitive or macrolide-resistant strain of mg resulted in no detection of mycoplasma in the air sacs and in mg-negative sera. | 1986 | 3767811 |
| a historical account of the diagnosis and characterization of strains of mycoplasma gallisepticum of low virulence. | numerous chicken flocks were studied beginning in 1970 because of questionable results on their serologic tests for mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg). typically a low number of hens in the flocks were positive reactors to the rapid serum plate test and rarely had hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) titers over 1:80. usually no clinical signs were observed. isolates of mg eventually were cultured from most of the flocks that exhibited that type of marginal serologic pattern. in the laboratory, the mg is ... | 1986 | 3767812 |
| prevalence of mycoplasma gallisepticum and m. synoviae in commercial layers in southern and central california. | the prevalence of mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) and m. synoviae (ms) in commercial pullet and layer flocks in southern and central california was estimated by testing serum and egg-yolk samples from 360 sample flocks in southern california and 41 sample flocks in central california. data relating to potential risk factors associated with mg and ms infections were collected. the estimated true prevalence rate of mg was 73% in southern california and 3% in central california. the estimated true pr ... | 1986 | 3767813 |
| antibody responses in sera and respiratory secretions from chickens infected with mycoplasma gallisepticum. | antibodies in sera and respiratory secretions from chickens infected with mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). chickens intratracheally inoculated with 10(5) cells of mg showed a correlation between severity of tracheal lesions and extent of mg colonization in the tracheas in the first 3 weeks postinoculation. antibody titers in tracheal washings (tws) of the infected chickens increased during this phase. thereafter, isolation of mg from th ... | 1986 | 3767815 |
| effect of medicated feed on tracheal infection and population of mycoplasma gallisepticum in chickens. | six-week-old broilers were fed 50 g tylosin/ton, 400 g chlortetracycline (ctc)/ton, or unmedicated feed and then challenged intratracheally with r strain mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg). feed-grade antibiotic medication did not prevent infection, but medication did lower the number of isolations from treated birds compared with controls. only tylosin significantly lowered mg counts in the trachea. the log10 id50 of birds receiving tylosin, ctc, or unmedicated feed were 5.8, 4.4, and 2.9, respectiv ... | 1986 | 3767816 |
| a radioimmunoassay for the detection of antibodies to mycoplasma gallisepticum. | a radioimmunoassay technique was developed to determine the antibodies to mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) in sera, yolk fluids, and tracheal washings. | 1986 | 3767822 |

| effect of temperature-sensitive mycoplasma gallisepticum vaccine preparations and routes of inoculation on resistance of white leghorns to challenge. | one-week-old chickens were vaccinated with live or formalin-killed temperature-sensitive (ts) mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) either intranasally (in) or subcutaneously (sq). live ts mg protected chickens against s6 strain challenge directly into the air sacs, regardless of route of vaccination. killed mg, however, protected chickens only when administered sq. antibody to mg was detected in sera and in the tracheal and air-sac washings of only the chickens given live vaccine in. the antibody prese ... | 1986 | 3814015 |
| influence of hatcher holding times on several physiological parameters associated with the immune system of chickens. | two experiments were conducted with broiler chicks to study the effects of posthatch holding time in the incubator on physiological and disease parameters. in each experiment, half of the chicks were removed shortly after hatching and half of the chicks were allowed to remain in the hatcher for an additional 30 hr. bursa weights, hematocrits, total plasma protein, and blood glucose concentrations were measured at various times up to 35 and 28 days of age in experiments 1 and 2, respectively. in ... | 1986 | 3822996 |
| tracheal populations of mycoplasma gallisepticum after challenge of bacterin-vaccinated chickens. | chickens vaccinated once or twice with inactivated oil-emulsion vaccine against mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) or left unvaccinated were challenged intratracheally with the r strain of mg. the population of mg organisms was determined by enumerating tracheal cultures periodically up to 28 weeks postchallenge (pc). the number of organisms in the respiratory tract increased rapidly after 4 days pc, and the number tended to decrease after 4 weeks pc. tracheal populations of mg varied considerably am ... | 1985 | 3833213 |
| bacterin to control the vertical transmission of mycoplasma gallisepticum in chickens. | a mycoplasma gallisepticum bacterin was prepared and used in mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg)-positive primary breeders to control vertical transmission of mg. two generations were vaccinated, but the third generation was not vaccinated and was monitored serologically. results showed no evidence of mg at 1 day, 6 weeks, 11 weeks, 16 weeks, or 31 weeks of age. this procedure may offer small breeder organizations and showbird fanciers a way to eliminate mg. | 1985 | 3833226 |
| stability of the f strain of mycoplasma gallisepticum in various diluents at 4, 22, and 37 c. | the stability of the f strain of mycoplasma gallisepticum was determined in reconstituted powdered skim milk, phosphate-buffered saline, tryptose phosphate broth, and distilled water at 4, 22, and 37 c. the culture was stable for up to 24 hr in all diluents at 4 and 22 c. at 37 c, the culture was stable up to 24 hr in phosphate-buffered saline, but there was a slight reduction of viability in tryptose phosphate broth at 8 and 24 hr, and the titer was reduced in skim milk at 24 hr. in distilled w ... | 1985 | 3833228 |
| evaluation of protection against colonization of the chicken trachea following administration of mycoplasma gallisepticum bacterin. | twelve-week-old commercial white leghorn pullets were given one or two doses of an inactivated oil-emulsion mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) vaccine or kept as unvaccinated controls. at 24 weeks of age, all groups were challenged intratracheally with one of six dilutions of a low-passage r strain of mg. three days postchallenge, the tracheas from all chickens were cultured for mg to determine the number of challenge organisms required to initiate infection. the log10 id50 of chickens vaccinated 0, ... | 1985 | 3833239 |
| swab absorbability--effect on mycoplasma gallisepticum isolation. | a single strain of commercial leghorn vaccinated with f strain mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) was used in two trials to determine the effect of swab absorbability on mg isolation. for each of the two trials, 34 birds from each of five 10,000 bird houses were randomly selected and swabbed from the choanal cleft region; 17 birds from each house were swabbed with ethylene-oxide sterilized, 2.4-mm diameter calcium alginate-tipped swabs, while the remaining 17 birds were swabbed with similarly sized a ... | 1985 | 3906617 |
| interaction of albumin and phospholipid:cholesterol liposomes in growth of mycoplasma spp. | mycoplasma spp., sterol and fatty acid auxotrophs, are conventionally grown in complex media containing high concentrations of serum. serum supplies the required lipids, but its presence complicates studies on the metabolism and antigenicity of mycoplasmas as well as the membrane dynamics of these organisms. in the present work, fetal bovine serum was replaced with dilipidated albumin and liposomes containing high concentrations of cholesterol. the liposomes were produced from phosphatidylcholin ... | 1986 | 3954343 |
| evaluation of cytopathologic changes induced in chicken tracheal epithelium by mycoplasma gallisepticum in vivo and in vitro. | changes in tracheal epithelial surfaces induced by mycoplasma infection in vivo and in vitro included release of mucous granules followed by exfoliation of ciliated and nonciliated epithelial cells. light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the loss of cilia from individual cells was infrequent. epithelial cells typically lost their intercellular connections, rounded up, exfoliated, and then lysed--giving rise to a population of cellular ... | 1985 | 3970413 |

| in ovo pathogenicity of mycoplasma gallisepticum strains in the presence and absence of maternal antibody. | mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) strains showing marked variation in pathogenicity were examined for virulence in ovo. no correlation was found between in ovo pathogenicity and other in vivo or in vitro methods for pathogenicity evaluation. for certain highly pathogenic strains, there was a clear relationship between the titer of mg inoculated and the embryo mortality and time of death; an ld50 for these strains could be calculated by yolk-sac inoculation. however, not every strain that caused lesi ... | 1985 | 3985874 |
| an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of antibodies to mycoplasma gallisepticum in experimentally infected chickens. | an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was developed and tested for its ability to detect humoral response to mycoplasma gallisepticum in chickens. two antigens were used in the solid phase of the assay. antigen 1 was a membrane-derived sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds)-solubilized preparation; antigen 2 was prepared in the same manner as antigen 1 but was passed through an immunoadsorbent column containing rabbit anti-medium antibodies. test conditions were optimized for incubation ti ... | 1985 | 3985883 |
| kinetics of cholesterol and phospholipid exchange from membranes containing cross-linked proteins or cross-linked phosphatidylethanolamines. | mono- and dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine derivatives have been synthesized and used to evaluate the role of cross-links between the amino groups of two phospholipid molecules in the rate of cholesterol movement between membranes. incorporation of the cross-linked phospholipids into small unilamellar vesicles (the donor species) decreased the rate of spontaneous cholesterol exchange with acceptor membranes (small unilamellar vesicles or mycoplasma gallisepticum cells). these results suggest ... | 1985 | 3986182 |
| comparison of the antimycoplasma activity of two commercially available tylosin premixes. | two tylosin premixes (referred to in this report as premix a and tylosin premix b), obtained as commercial products from japan, were analyzed microbiologically for tylosin and by high pressure liquid chromatography (hplc) for macrolide content. they were evaluated in the feed at concentrations of 550 and 1100 ppm antibiotic activity for the treatment of chickens with induced mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) infection. the tylosin microbiological assay value for premix a was 3.0% below and for premi ... | 1985 | 3991415 |
| mycoplasma gallisepticum vaccination: further studies on egg transmission and egg production. | leghorn hens vaccinated twice with an inactivated mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) bacterin before egg production and subsequently challenged with virulent mg were protected against transmission of mg through the egg. unvaccinated control hens transmitted mg through the egg at a high rate. when unvaccinated hens were vaccinated with mg bacterin 2 weeks after challenge with mg, there was no significant decrease in egg transmission. hens vaccinated twice before laying did not suffer as severe egg-pro ... | 1985 | 4026735 |
| cell volume regulation in mycoplasma gallisepticum. | mycoplasma gallisepticum cells incubated in 250 mm nacl solutions in the absence of glucose showed a progressive fall in intracellular atp concentration over a period of 2 to 3 h. when the atp level fell below 40 microm the cell began to swell and become progressively permeable to [14c]inulin and leak intracellular protein and nucleotides. the addition of nondiffusable substances such as mgso4 or disaccharides prevented swelling, suggesting that nacl (and water) entry was due to gibbs-donnan for ... | 1985 | 4030694 |
| sodium and proton transport in mycoplasma gallisepticum. | when washed cells of mycoplasma gallisepticum were incubated at 37 degrees c in 250 mm 22nacl, the intracellular na+ increased, and the k+ decreased. the addition of glucose to these na+-loaded cells caused na+ efflux and k+ uptake (both ions moving against concentration gradients). this effect of glucose was blocked by the atpase inhibitor dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, which prevents the generation of a proton motive force in these cells. in additional experiments, na+ extrusion was studied by dilu ... | 1985 | 4030695 |
| presumptive diagnosis of subclinical infections utilizing computer-assisted analysis of sequential enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays against multiple antigens. | one-hundred-seventy-two serum samples, collected sequentially from four flocks of egg- and meat-type chickens, were evaluated for antibodies to multiple infectious agents by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (melisa). the melisa system used provided simultaneous measurement of antibody titers against avian infectious bronchitis (ib), infectious bursal disease (bd), newcastle disease, avian encephalomyelitis and reovirus infections, and mycoplasma gallisepticum. the use of computer-generated grap ... | 1985 | 4048057 |
| egg production, egg weight, eggshell strength, and mortality in three strains of commercial layers vaccinated with f strain mycoplasma gallisepticum. | three strains of commercial leghorns vaccinated at 17 to 22 weeks of age with f strain mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) were maintained through 117 weeks of age. the three strains differed in both mortality and percent egg production per hen housed; however, the strains did not differ in egg weight (ew), eggshell strength (ess), or percent daily egg production. results of this study indicate ew and ess for f strain mg-vaccinated hens follow patterns previously reported for uninfected layers. furthe ... | 1985 | 4074249 |

| new method for the isolation of membranes from mycoplasma gallisepticum. | mycoplasma gallisepticum lysed readily in carbonate bicarbonate buffer at ph 9.2 to 10.5. the hemagglutination titer of the lysates was 2- to 16-fold greater than a cell suspension at the same protein concentration in buffered saline. membranes prepared from cells lysed by this method at ph 10 were relatively free from cytoplasmic contaminants as shown by electron microscopy of thin sections. the membranes retained their hemagglutination activity, gave reactions in immunodiffusion tests identica ... | 1973 | 4200862 |
| histochemical localization of phosphatases in mycoplasma gallisepticum. | histochemical studies of adenosine triphosphatase and acid phosphatase activity were performed on mycoplasma gallisepticum. the adenosine triphosphatase activity appears to be localized in the bleb and infrableb regions exclusively and is associated with the cell membrane; acid phosphatase activity is localized in the infrableb region and does not appear to be membrane-associated. these findings are consistent with data from biochemical studies of mycoplasma cell fractions but, unlike them, reve ... | 1967 | 4225891 |
