Four mycoplasma-like organisms isolated from ewes with mucopurulent vaginal discharge and swollen vulva were characterised. Biochemical tests showed three of the isolates to be negative for glucose fermentation and arginine hydrolysis, while the remaining isolate was negative for glucose fermentation but hydrolysed arginine. Serological identification using the growth inhibition, growth precipitation and indirect immunofluorescence tests indicated the three similar isolates as Mycoplasma bovigenitalium and the other isolate as Mycoplasma arginini. There are apparently no previous reports of the isolation of these organisms from the genital tract of sheep in Nigeria.
对从患有黏液脓性阴道分泌物和外阴肿胀的母羊中分离出的四种类支原体生物进行了鉴定。生化试验表明,其中三种分离株葡萄糖发酵和精氨酸水解呈阴性,而其余分离株葡萄糖发酵呈阴性但能水解精氨酸。使用生长抑制、生长沉淀和间接免疫荧光试验进行的血清学鉴定表明,三种相似的分离株为牛支原体,另一种分离株为精氨酸支原体。显然,此前在尼日利亚尚无从绵羊生殖道分离出这些生物的报道。
