During an outbreak of pneumonia and arthritis in beef calves and young cattle on a large farm in north-west Germany, Mycoplasma bovis and Mycoplasma californicum were isolated from tracheobronchial lavage fluids and synovial fluids. The microbiological findings in dead and living animals and the immunohistochemical demonstration of M californicum antigen in lung and arthritic joint tissue, indicated that under poor housing conditions and possibly other predisposing factors, this mycoplasma, like M bovis, can colonise the respiratory tract and may be able to cross the respiratory mucosal barrier to spread through an infected animal and cause systemic infections that may contribute to severe arthritis.
在德国西北部一个大型农场的肉牛犊和幼牛发生肺炎和关节炎疫情期间，从气管支气管灌洗液和滑液中分离出牛支原体和加利福尼亚支原体。对死亡和存活动物的微生物学检测结果以及在肺和关节炎关节组织中对加利福尼亚支原体抗原进行的免疫组织化学证明表明，在饲养条件差以及可能存在的其他诱发因素下，这种支原体与牛支原体一样，能够在呼吸道定植，并可能穿过呼吸道黏膜屏障在受感染动物体内传播，引发全身感染，进而可能导致严重的关节炎。
