Isolation of mycoplasmas from the canine genital tract: a survey of 108 healthy dogs. 1978

A Bruchim, and I Lutsky, and S Rosendal

Cultivation of preputial or vaginal swab samples from 108 apparently healthy dogs gave presumptive mycoplasma growth in 72 cases. Specific identification of 58 mycoplasma isolates based on biochemical studies, indirect immunofluorescence and growth inhibition tests showed association with eight different species or groups, only four of which had previously yielded genital isolates. Fourteen strains were related to M bovigenitalium.
