ResumoA infecção crônica por Mycoplasma pulmonis é freqüentemente encontrada em ratos alojados em biotérios convencionais e pode influir no resultado dos experimentos realizados com tais animais. Na forma clínica da infecção os animais desenvolvem dentre outras manifestações sinais de comprometimento do sistema respiratório. No presente estudo, relatamos o diagnóstico histopatológico e molecular da infecção por Mycoplasma sp., tanto em ratos Wistar apresentando sinais da infecção quanto em animais saudáveis mantidos na mesma colônia. A eficácia de medidas terapêuticas e profiláticas é discutida.
