Strains of mycoplasmas isolated from turkey embryos and identified as belonging to the IJKNQR group of avian mycoplasmas were found to produce lethal infections in experimentally exposed turkey embryos. Some strains produced exudative airsacculitis in experimentally exposed poults. Of 4 strains used to inoculate poults, two produced moderate airsacculitis, one produced a slight airsacculitis, and one had little or no effect on turkey poult air sacs. Microscopic examination revealed that the air-sac lesions resulting from infection with these mycoplasmas were similar to those resulting from infections with Mycoplasma gallisepticum, M. meleagridis, and M. synoviae. The results were considered to indicate that some strains of the IJKNQR group of avian mycoplasmas are pathogenic for turkeys.
从火鸡胚胎中分离出并鉴定为属于禽支原体IJKNQR组的支原体菌株，在实验性暴露的火鸡胚胎中产生致死性感染。一些菌株在实验性暴露的幼禽中产生渗出性气囊炎。在用于接种幼禽的4株菌株中，两株产生中度气囊炎，一株产生轻度气囊炎，一株对火鸡幼禽气囊几乎没有影响或没有影响。显微镜检查显示，这些支原体感染引起的气囊病变与鸡毒支原体、火鸡支原体和滑膜支原体感染引起的病变相似。结果被认为表明禽支原体IJKNQR组的一些菌株对火鸡具有致病性。
