Virulence Traits and Antimicrobial Sensitivity Testing of Untyped Mycoplasma species Recovered from Sheep and Goat in Egypt
Many Mycoplasma species are involved in caprine and ovine pneumonia all over the world causing serious economic losses. These species have been reported to cause pneumonia, mastitis, arthritis, conjunctivitis and genital infection. The objective of the present study was to detect Mycoplasma species...

Many Mycoplasma species are involved in caprine and ovine pneumonia all over the world causing serious economic losses. These species have been reported to cause pneumonia, mastitis, arthritis, conjunctivitis and genital infection. The objective of the present study was to detect Mycoplasma species in the respiratory system of sheep and goats. So, a total of 400 samples (250 from sheep and 150 from goat) were examined bacteriologically, biochemically, by PCR, sequencing, in addition to the antibiotic susceptibility profiles screening. Only 13 isolates could be identified as Mycoplasma species. One of these sequences was submitted to the Genbank taking the accession number MK910041; Mycoplasma species 'ovine/caprine serogroup 11'. Only 7 isolates were weak biofilm producers and the other 6 isolates were non biofilm producers; 8 isolates were positive for the catalase test and 5 were negative. H2S production was recorded in 10 isolates; haemolysis was detected in only 6 isolates.
