Unravelling the transcriptome profile of the Swine respiratory tract mycoplasmas. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The swine respiratory ciliary epithelium is mainly colonized by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Mycoplasma flocculare and Mycoplasma hyorhinis. While colonization by M. flocculare is virtually asymptomatic, M. hyopneumoniae and M.

Identification and characterization of a Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae adhesin [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1995 An adhesin of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae was identified and characterized in this study. A monoclonal antibody (MAb), F2G5, and its F(ab')2 fragments inhibited the adherence of M. hyopneumoniae to porcine tracheal cilia, the natural targets to which the mycoplasma binds during infection. MAb F2G5 detected multiple bands, but predominantly recognized a 97-

Control of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infections in pigs [PDF]
Veterinary Microbiology, 2008 Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, the primary pathogen of enzootic pneumonia, occurs worldwide and causes major economic losses to the pig industry. The organism adheres to and damages the ciliated epithelium of the respiratory tract. Affected pigs show chronic coughing, are more susceptible to other respiratory infections and have a reduced performance ...

Virulence, 2020 Mycoplasmas persist in the host for a long time, suggesting that they possess mechanisms for immune evasion. Factor H is a negative regulator of the complement system, which binds to host cells to avoid unexpected complement activation. In this study, we

Selective medium for culture of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae [PDF]
Veterinary Microbiology, 2016 The fastidious porcine respiratory pathogen Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae has proven difficult to culture since it was first isolated in 1965. A reliable solid medium has been particularly challenging. Moreover, clinical and pathological samples often contain the fast-growing M. hyorhinis which contaminates and overgrows M. hyopneumoniae in primary culture.

Long-term follow-up of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae-specific immunity in vaccinated pigs
Veterinary Research, 2023 Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the primary agent of enzootic pneumonia in pigs. To minimize the economic losses caused by this disease, M. hyopneumoniae vaccination is commonly practiced. However, the persistence of M. hyopneumoniae vaccine-induced immunity,

Extracellular Actin Is a Receptor for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, an agriculturally important porcine pathogen, disrupts the mucociliary escalator causing ciliostasis, loss of cilial function, and epithelial cell death within the porcine lung. Losses to swine production due to growth rate retardation and reduced feed conversion efficiency are severe, and antibiotics are used heavily to ...
