Isolation of Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma Species from Raccoon Dogs () Free

Abstract

spp. were isolated from five wild raccoon dogs (). On the basis of biochemical properties and serological tests, nine isolates were identified as and four were similar to a possibly new sp. represented by strain LM2 which is negative for both glucose fermentation and arginine hydrolysis. In addition, ureaplasmas were detected from these animals. Ureaplasmas were compared serologically with ureaplasma strains isolated from human, monkey, cattle, goat, sheep, cat, chicken and dog and cross-reacted with one of four serological groups of canine ureaplasmas.
