Mycoplasma Suipneumoniae Isolated in Denmark

Abstract

Though several agents may be involved in the etiology of enzootic pneumonia of pigs, recent investigations seem to indicate that the great majority of cases are caused by a Mycoplasma species — called M. suipneumoniae in Britain (Goodwin et al 1965) and M. hyopneumoniae in the U.S.A. (Maré & Switzer 1965).
