Bacteriological studies on mycoplasma infection of bovine genital tract [electronic resource].

Includes reference

A total of 70 vaginal swabs were collected from cows (forty five from cows suffering from congestion and purulent vaginal discharge, and 25 from apparently healthy cows). Also ten vaginal swabs were collected from buffaloes suffering from congestion and purulent vaginal discharge. The collected vaginal swabs were subjected to bacteriological examination for Mycoplasma pathogens and the recovered species were identified using PCR. Vaginal swabs from apparently healthy cows were negative for Mycoplasma isolation, while seven isolate were recovered from vaginal swabs of diseased cows with an incidence of 15.6 %. On theother hand, five isolates were recovered from the vaginal swabs of diseased buffaloes with an incidence of 50 %. All Mycoplasma isolates were identified by PCR using M. bovis, M. bovigenitalium, and M. bovine group 7 specific primers.
