Evaluation of Some Serological Techniques for The Identification of Mycoplasma Hyorhinis and Mycoplasma Suipneumoniae
Utvärdering av några serologiska metoder för identifiering av Mycoplasma hyorhinis och Mycoplasma suipneumoniae
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 15, pages 274–282 (1974)
Abstract
Eighteen strains of Mycoplasma hyorhinis and a strain of Mycoplasma suipneumoniae were tested in 4 serological tests, i. e., disc growth inhibition, metabolic inhibition, indirect haemagglutination and indirect epi-immunofluorescence. Only with immunofluorescence could all tested strains of M. hyorhinis be shown; no cross-reactions between M. hyorhinis and M. suipneumoniae could be detected. The other tests failed in many cases to identify strains of the same species, and they gave cross-reactions between M. hyorhinis and M. suipneumoniae.
Sammanfattning
Aderton stammar av Mycoplasma hyorhinis och en stam av Mycoplasma suipneumoniae har testats med följande serologiska metoder: växtinhibition på fast substrat, växtinhibition i flytande substrat, indirekt hemagglutination och indirekt epi-immunofluorescens. Endast med epi-immunofluorescens var det möjligt att klassificera alla undersökta stammar med avseende på art. De övriga metoderna visade sig vara mindre pålitliga eftersom reaktionen mellan testsera och vissa stammar var svag eller negativ. Dessutom förekom korsreaktioner mellan M. suipneumoniae och vissa stammar av M. hyorhinis.
