MYCOPLASMA Flashcards
MYCOPLASMA IN GENERAL
SMALLEST FREE LIVING BACTERIA
OBLIGATE INTRACELLULAR!!!!! CANNOT SURVIVE OUT OF HOST
NO CELL WALL- TRIPLE LAYER OUTER MEMBRANE
NOT SUSCEPTIBLE TO PENICILLIN
HOST SPECIFICITY
MYCOPLASMA IS COMMENSAL WHERE
MUCOUS MEMBRANES OF RESP AND REPRO
MYCOPLASMA HAS AFFINITY FOR WHAT
CILIATED RESPIRATORY EPITHELIUM
HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE MYCOPLASMA
HOST SPECIFICITY, CLONAL MORPHOLOGY, REQUIREMENT OF CHOLESTEROL FOR SURVIVAL, BIOCHEMICAL ACTIVITY
MYCOPLASMA MYCOIDES SUBSPECIES MYCOIDES
CONTAGIOUS BOVINE PLEUROPNEUMONIA
MYCOPLASMA BOVIS
MASTITIS, PNEUMONIA, ARTHRITIS IN CATTLE
MYCOPLASMA HYOPNEUMONIAE
ENZOONOTIC PNEUMONIA IN PIGS
MYCOPLASMA GALLISEPTUM
CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISTRESS IN CHICKENS
MYCOPLASMA DIFFERENTIATION
CHOLESTEROL REQUIRED
DOES NOT PRODUCE UREASE
UMBONATE COLONIES OR FRIED EGG COLONIES
CAN STAIN WITH DIENES STAINS
DIAGNOSIS OF MYCOPLASMA
ISOLATION FROM CLINICAL SAMPLES
MUCOSAL SCRAPINGS, TRACHEAL EXUDATES, ASPIRATES, PNEUMONIC TISSUE, MILK AND FLUIDS FROM JOINTS AND BODY CAVITIES, SWABS FROM LESIONS(SPECIAL TRANSPORT MEDIUM)
IMMUNOLOGICAL TESTS
GROWTH INHIBITION TESTS
PCR
ELISA REQUIRED FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE
FOR FLOCK OR HERD - RAPID PLATE AGGLUTINATION
PATHOGENICITY OF MYCOPLASMA
DOES NOT INVADE CELL
PRODUCTION OF H202 THAT CAUSES TOXIC DAMAGE
EVADE IMMUNE SYSTEM WITH VARIATION OF SURFACE PROTEINS AND BACTERIA COPIES HOST ANTIGENS (INTERFERES WITH HOST RECOGNITION)
PATHOGENIC PULMONARY MYCOPLASMAS ARE MITOGENIC FOR B AND T CELLS
CONTAGIOUS BOVINE PLEUROPNEUMONIA
SEVERE CONTAGIOUS- VERY PATHOGENIC TRANSMITTED BY AEROSOLS AND CARRIERS ENDEMIC AFRICA AND ASIA SEVERE SPORADIC - LESS SEVERE IN EXOTIC AREAS REPORTABLE
CONTAGIOUS BOVINE PLEUROPNEUMONIA IS REPORTABLE
TRUE ITS REPORTABLE
CONTAGIOUS BOVINE PLEUROPNEUMONIA CLINICAL SIGNS
CAUSES MARBLED LUNGS
HIGH FEVER, DEPRESSION, COUGHING, DROP IN MILK PRODUCTION
CHRONIC- FIBROSIS ENCAPSULATION OF NECROTIC TISSUE
MYCOPLASA MYCOIDES SUBSPECIES MYCOIDES
CONTAGIOUS BOVINE PLEUROPNEUMONIA
MARBLED LUNGS
CONTROL OF CONTAGIOUS BOVINE PLEUROPNEUMONIA
TEST AND SLAUGHTER ALL INFECTED AND IN CONTACT ANIMALS
CONTROL CONTAGIOUS BOVINE PLEUROPNEUMONIA IN ENDEMIC REGIONS
ABX-REDUCE TRANSMISSION PROHIBIT MOVEMENT OF ANIMALS QUARANTINE NEW ANIMALS CULL POSITIVE ANIMALS VACCINATION
MYCOPLASMA BOVIS
CHRONIC DISEASE
SEVERE IN CALVES
RESPIRATORY DISEASE, ARTHRITIS, MASTITIS
MYCOPLASMA BOVIS LESIONS IN THE LUNGS
SCATTERED RICE ABSCESSES
