| biochemical characterization of mycoplasma bovirhinis, mycoplasma dispar and recent bovine isolates of mycoplasma canis. | the pattern and kinetics of substrate utilization by the type strains of mycoplasma canis, m. bovirhinis and m. dispar and ten recent m. canis isolates from cattle were determined. metabolism of a range of sugars and organic acids by m. dispar was detectable by measurement of oxygen uptake. organic acids were not utilized by m. bovirhinis or m. canis, and there was no oxygen uptake during metabolism of glucose or other sugars, as monitored by a ph-change method. the m. canis strains varied in th ... | 2001 | 11214667 |
| isolation of mycoplasma species from the lower respiratory tract of healthy cattle and cattle with respiratory disease in belgium. | between 1997 and 2000, a total of 150 healthy cattle and 238 animals with respiratory disease were examined for six mycoplasma species. attempts were made to detect mycoplasma canis, mycoplasma dispar and ureaplasma diversum in calves with recurrent disease, and all three of these species were identified in calves with recurrent disease and in healthy lungs. in healthy calves, 84 per cent of bronchoalveolar lavage fluids were mycoplasma free; when cultures were positive, mycoplasma bovirhinis wa ... | 2002 | 12418530 |
| mycoplasma canis and urogenital disease in dogs in norway. | mycoplasmas identified as mycoplasma canis were isolated from nine dogs with clinical signs of urogenital disease in norway over a period of 20 months. some of the dogs had been treated unsuccessfully with antibiotics, and three were euthanased as a result of severe persistent disease. seven of the dogs had a urinary tract infection, one had chronic purulent epididymitis and one had chronic prostatitis. overt haematuria was frequently observed among the dogs with cystitis. m canis was isolated i ... | 2003 | 12967146 |
| mycoplasma species and related organisms isolated from ruminants in britain between 1990 and 2000. | between 1990 and 2000, more than 1600 mycoplasmas and the related acholeplasmas were identified from ruminant animals by the mycoplasma group at the veterinary laboratories agency--weybridge. mycoplasma bovis was the most commonly identified pathogen, mostly from pneumonic calves but occasionally from cattle with mastitis and arthritis. mycoplasma canis was first isolated in britain in 1995 from pneumonic calves and the number of isolates increased to 18 per cent of the total mycoplasmas isolate ... | 2004 | 15508840 |
| canine mycoplasmas. | this review aims to summarise our current understanding of the role of mycoplasmas in domestic dogs. canine mycoplasmology is a small field, with less than 50 publications in the past 40 years. in this time we have gained knowledge about the number of species and have made associations with infections in dogs. however much evidence is still lacking. the importance of all canine mycoplasmas remains unknown, yet certain species are associated with canine anaemia (mycoplasma haemocanis), respirator ... | 2004 | 15894017 |
| urinary tract infections due to mycoplasma canis in dogs. | urine samples were obtained from 100 dogs with symptoms of lower urinary tract disease by cystocentesis and were examined for mycoplasmas. urinalysis, haematological and biochemical analyses were also performed. bacteria were isolated from urine in 41 of 100 dogs; mycoplasma canis was isolated from four of 100 (4%) urine samples and three were pure culture. selective mycoplasma media were used for isolation. in growth inhibition test, propagation of the four m. canis isolates was inhibited by th ... | 2006 | 16922838 |
| secreted sialidase activity of canine mycoplasmas. | through a survey of the phylogenetic distribution of sialidase among mycoplasmas, we detected activity secreted by the type strains of 3 of 11 species frequently or first isolated from dogs. the specific activity of washed cells of the type strains of mycoplasma canis, mycoplasma cynos, and mycoplasma molare ranged from 5.2+/-0.8 x 10(-6) to 1.1+/-0.3 x 10(-5) enzymatic units per colony-forming unit (u/cfu). cells of m. molare strain h542(t) had twice the specific activity (p<0.05) of m. canis s ... | 2009 | 19201110 |
| demonstration of neuraminidase activity in mycoplasma neurolyticum and of neuraminidase proteins in three canine mycoplasma species. | neuraminidases are virulence factors in many pathogenic microorganisms. they are present also in some mycoplasma species that cause disease in birds, dogs and alligators. thirty-seven mycoplasma species have been examined previously for neuraminidase (sialidase) activity, whereas many of the species causing disease in man, ruminants, pigs, rodents and other animals have not. in this study neuraminidase enzymatic activity (neac) was examined in 45 previously untested mycoplasma species, including ... | 2011 | 21937171 |
| canine tick-borne diseases in pet dogs from romania. | tick-borne diseases are of substantial concern worldwide for animals as well as humans. dogs have been a human companion for millennia, and their significant impact on human life renders disease in dogs to be of great concern. tick-borne diseases in dogs represent a substantial diagnostic challenge for veterinarians in that clinical signs are often diffuse and overlapping. in addition, co-infections with two or more pathogens enhance this problem further. molecular methods are useful to disentan ... | 2017 | 28335825 |
| molecular surveillance of traditional and emerging pathogens associated with canine infectious respiratory disease. | a molecular survey for traditional and emerging pathogens associated with canine infectious respiratory disease (cird) was conducted in italy between 2011 and 2013 on a total of 138 dogs, including 78 early acute clinically ill cird animals, 22 non-clinical but exposed to clinically ill cird dogs and 38 cird convalescent dogs. the results showed that canine parainfluenza virus (cpiv) was the most commonly detected cird pathogen, followed by canine respiratory coronavirus (crcov), bordetella bron ... | 2016 | 27527760 |
| cellular microbiology of mycoplasma canis. | mycoplasma canis can infect many mammalian hosts but is best known as a commensal or opportunistic pathogen of dogs. the unexpected presence of m. canis in brains of dogs with idiopathic meningoencephalitis prompted new in vitro studies to help fill the void of basic knowledge about the organism's candidate virulence factors, the host responses that it elicits, and its potential roles in pathogenesis. secretion of reactive oxygen species and sialidase varied quantitatively (p < 0.01) among strai ... | 2016 | 27045036 |
| genome annotation of five mycoplasma canis strains. | to understand its potential to cause invasive disease, the genome of mycoplasma canis strain pg14(t) from a dog's throat was compared to those of isolates from the genital tract or brain of dogs. the average nucleotide identity between strain pairs is 98%, and their genome annotations are similar. | 2012 | 22815452 |
| broadly reactive polymerase chain reaction for pathogen detection in canine granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis and necrotizing meningoencephalitis. | granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis (gme) and necrotizing meningoencephalitis (nme) are common inflammatory conditions of the central nervous system of dogs. infectious pathogens, particularly viruses, are suspected to contribute to the etiopathogenesis of gme and nme. | 2016 | 22686439 |
