A New Porcine Mycoplasma Species: Mycoplasma Suidaniae

Abstract

In an investigation of the mycoplasma flora in lungs of Danish pigs, 12 strains of an alkali-producing agent were isolated from lungs with catarrhal pneumonia. The pigs in question originated from 9 different farms. Details concerning media and technique are given in a previous paper (Friis 1971).
