Comparison of culture and a multiplex probe PCR for identifying Mycoplasma species in bovine milk, semen and swab samples

Abstract: Mycoplasma spp. are a major cause of mastitis, arthritis and pneumonia in cattle, and have been associated with reproductive disorders in cows. While culture is the traditional method of identification the use of PCR has become more common. Several investigators have developed PCR protocols to detect M. bovis in milk, yet few studies have evaluated other sample types or other important Mycoplasma species. Therefore the objective of this study was to develop a multiplex PCR assay to detect M. bovis, M. californ… Show more

“…Depending on the obtained results, the PCR technique was appeared as an excellent directly method in the diagnosis of Mycoplasma and principally M. bovis from pneumonic lungs, without the demands for culturing microorganism, which is accurate method and will reduce the consuming time and efforts. Many global studies supported the use of PCR instead of the culturing or together for diagnosis of Mycoplasma and particularly M. bovis [39][40][41][42][43][44][45] .…”

“…In general, molecular methods can be divided into those allowing specific detection of M. bovis (using either conventional or real‐time PCRs; Cai, Bell‐Rogers, Parker, & Prescott, ; Ghadersohi, ; Hotzel, Sachse, & Pfützner, ; Rossetti, Frey, & Pilo, ; Sachse et al., ; Subramaniam et al., ) and those allowing simultaneous detection of M. bovis with other mycoplasma species or Mollicutes . The latter includes multiplex PCRs (Boonyayatra et al., ; Cornelissen et al., ; Gioia, Werner, Nydam, & Moroni, ; Justice‐Allen, Trujillo, Goodell, & Wilson, ; Parker, House, Hazelton, Bosward, & Sheehy, ; Righter, Rurangirwa, Call, & McElwain, ), PCR with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE); (McAuliffe, Ellis, Lawes, Ayling, & Nicholas, ) and a DNA microarray based on oligonucleotide probes derived from the 23S rRNA gene and species‐specific probes from the tuf gene target (Bottinelli et al., ; Schnee et al., ). It is important to note that although multiplex detection may help in the diagnosis of mixed mollicute infections, it may introduce additional complexity into the determination of disease aetiology; multiple mycoplasma species may be found, for example, in the upper respiratory or genital tracts that are apparent commensals with questionable significance in disease (Brown et al., ).…”

“…First, isolates were processed using a Mycoplasma spp. conventional PCR assay as described by Parker et al (2017). This was followed by an Acholeplasma laidlawii conventional PCR assay designed using the Primer3 software program (Untergasser et al, 2012; Table 1).…”
