The aim of this short communication is to describe a case of subfertility and other anomalies associated with the presence of Mycoplasma spumans and Mycoplasma maculosum in a Bernese Mountain Dog kennel. After the arrival of two dogs from abroad, some fertility disorders, such as unsuccessful mating, pregnancy losses and abnormal sperm analysis results, were observed. Two consecutive samplings (vaginal swabs) of three and two bitches with problems, respectively, were performed and M. spumans and M. maculosum were identified by PCR and sequencing. After treatment for 15 days with doxycycline and 9 days with azithromycin, successful pregnancies were achieved and the results of the sperm analyses were reversed. Considering that no other infectious agents causing subfertility problems were detected and that no management measures or other medication apart from these antibiotics were applied, it was concluded that fertility problems were due to the presence of these two Mycoplasma species.
本简短通讯的目的是描述在一只伯恩山犬犬舍中出现的与泡沫支原体和斑点支原体存在相关的亚生育力及其他异常情况。从国外引进两只犬后，观察到一些繁殖障碍，如交配未成功、妊娠丢失以及精子分析结果异常。分别对三只和两只出现问题的母犬进行了连续两次采样（阴道拭子），通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）和测序鉴定出了泡沫支原体和斑点支原体。在用强力霉素治疗15天和阿奇霉素治疗9天后，成功实现了妊娠，精子分析结果也得到了改善。鉴于未检测到其他导致亚生育力问题的感染因子，且除了这些抗生素外未采取其他管理措施或使用其他药物，得出结论认为繁殖问题是由这两种支原体的存在所致。
