Axenic culture of plant pathogenic phytoplasmas
Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2012 Phytoplasmas are microorganisms associated with severe plant diseases affecting diverse agrarian activites worldwide. Since their discovery, conclusive proof of their pathogenicity is lacking due to failure to culture these organisms.

Phase and antigenic variation in mycoplasmas [PDF]
, 2010 With their reduced genome bound by a single membrane, bacteria of the Mycoplasma species represent some of the simplest autonomous life forms. Yet, these minute prokaryotes are able to establish persistent infection in a wide range of hosts, even in the ...

Can we continue research in splenectomized dogs? Mycoplasma haemocanis: Old problem - New insight [PDF]
, 2004 We report the appearance of a Mycoplasma haemocanis infection in laboratory dogs, which has been reported previously, yet, never before in Europe. Outbreak of the disease was triggered by a splenectomy intended to prepare the dogs for a hemorrhagic shock
