BACKGROUND Mycoplasma hyorhinis infection has been postulated to play a role in the development of several types of cancer, but the direct evidence and mechanism remained to be determined. METHODS Immunohistochemistry assay and nested polymerase-chain reaction (PCR) were performed to examine the mycoplasma hyorhinis infection in gastric cancer tissues. Statistical analysis was used to check t...

At least 13 mycoplasma species cause arthritis in animals. In some cases it remains chronic, and in particular Mycoplasma hyorhinis in swine and Mycoplasma synoviae in poultry clinically and histologically resemble rheumatoid arthritis in man. Of patients with serologically verified Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections 0.9% had arthritis. Usually it is mild, but may sometimes be the dominant clinic...

background: infections are one of the correctable causes of infertility with low cost and cost effective treatment. the 50% of infertile cases is related to men in some way, and 30% of them are absolutely related to them. mycoplasmas are the smallest microorganisms with capability of dna replication. present study is planned to compare the mycoplasma infection in infertile men and men with esta...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Mycoplasmal infections are one of the most important urinary infections. Various studies have applied culture studies and biochemistry to separate the bacteria from the urinary tract. However, it should be noted that molecular and phylogenetic analyses are based on epidemiologic evaluations. The purpose of this study was to determine the molecular identity of Mycoplasm...

Mycoplasma bovis is a pathogen causing respiratory disease, otitis media, arthritis, mastitis, and a variety of other diseases in cattle worldwide. It is increasingly recognized by the veterinary and livestock communities as having an important impact on the health, welfare, and productivity of dairy and beef cattle. M. bovis diseases can be difficult to diagnose and control because of inconsis...

Mycoplasma mycoidessubsp.mycoidesis the etiologic agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia. We report here the complete genome sequence of the strain T1/44, which is widely used as a live vaccine in Africa.

11 Mycoplasmas have affected poultry production for many years and effective control of mycoplasma infection has been a fundamental stepping stone to improved performance and productivity. However, infections appear to be making a comeback. Numerous species of mycoplasmas have been isolated from avian sources. Two species are recognised as predominantly pathogenic to chickens and turkeys. Mycop...

Sulfoglycolipids are ubiquitous components of the male germ cell membrane. Sulfogalactoglycerolipid (SGG) is restricted to mammalian cells and has recently been implicated in sperm/egg interactions. Mycoplasma infections have been implicated in infertility in a variety of species, including humans. Four such species-specific mycoplasmas, Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis (humans), M...
