Mycoplasma capricolum causes high morbidity and mortality in goats. Young kids fed a one-time oral dose of greater than or equal to 1 X 10(5) colony-forming units of the GM13 isolate usually died during the septicemic phase. The cardinal lesions were a fibrinopurulent polyarthritis and an acute, diffuse interstitial pneumonia. Lactating goats exposed to low numbers of the organism via the teat canal experienced similar lesions and acute mastitis, agalactia, and hardened udders. The intramammary inoculation of M. putrefaciens caused only mastitis; infection could not be initiated by oral, intranasal, or i.m. exposure.
山羊支原体可导致山羊高发病率和死亡率。给幼龄山羊一次性口服剂量大于或等于1×10⁵个GM13分离株的菌落形成单位，通常会在败血症阶段死亡。主要病变为纤维蛋白脓性多关节炎和急性弥漫性间质性肺炎。经乳头管接触少量该病原体的泌乳山羊会出现类似病变以及急性乳腺炎、无乳和乳房变硬。乳房内接种腐败支原体仅引起乳腺炎；经口服、鼻内或肌肉注射接触则不会引发感染。
