Mycoplasma are the smallest free–living organisms which can grow on artificial media. Although some Mycoplasma are normal commensals, others are proven pathogens of respiratory and urogenital tracts.In this survey, 221 collected samples of 121 patients with urogenital infections (54.7%) and 100 patients with respiratory infections (45.3%) were examined. These patients were either referred to or...

Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the most important and infectious Mycoplasmosis. It is caused lots of economic losses for poultry's industry of Iran. The target of this study is comparison of culture and nested PCR techniques to detect Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection of chicken’s from industrial farms in Kerman province of Iran. 88 isolates received from industrial far...

background and objectives: association between mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and increased risk for brain stroke has been well understood. hence, the value of serologic tests for assessing causative relationship between this infection and brain stroke seems to be high. the present study aimed to determine serum level of anti- mycoplasma pneumoniae antibodies in patients with brain stroke and ...

2 different strains of Nocardia were isolated from a lung mass in a post kidney-pancreas transplant patient through convex endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TNBA). TBNA cultures (16S rRNA gene-targeted PCR sequencing) subsequently grew Nocardia beijingensis and Nocardia arthritidis.

Phenotypic characterization of bacteria from diseased and healthy horses identified 18 isolates as Bisgaard taxon 9 and 11 isolates as Actinobacillus lignieresii. All strains of taxon 9 were alpha-galactosidase- and raffinose-positive and showed variable fermentation of (+)L-arabinose and (-)D-sorbitol. Strains of A. lignieresii were negative for these characteristics, with the exception of raf...

BACKGROUND: Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) are the most important and pathogenic mycoplasma in chicken production. The tendency of avian mycoplasma for interaction with other pathogen is well-known. Interaction within several disease-producing factors in respiratory tract exacerbate the disease and known as multicausal respiratory disease. OBJECTIVES: In recent years...

background and objectives: women reproductive system is a suitable environment for growth of various pathogen and nonpathogenic microorganisms. mycoplasmataceae is a family of bacteria which cause oligosymptomatic genital infections. the complications caused by these bacteria may lead to infertility in women. the aim of this study was detection of genital mycoplasma hominis, ureaplasmaurealytic...

mycoplasmosis is one of the most important diseases in the poultry industry. its causative agent, mycoplasma has various species, which two of them, mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) and mycoplasma synoviae (ms) are the most important species. due to the enormous losses in the production farms of industrial poultry, achieving a rapid, accurate and definite diagnosis of mycoplasma is of great import...

Contagious agalactia is an infectious syndrome of sheep that is characterized by mastitis with reduction of milk production, arthritis, abortion, and keratoconjunctivitis. The disease is rapidly spread by the contact of the infected animals with the healthy ones. Domestic sheep and goats of both sexes can be infected at an equivalent frequency. Most of the researchers use culture and molecular ...
