| − | ==Introduction==
| |
| − | '''''Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae''''' is a very '''small, gram positive [[Bacteria|bacterial]] pathogen.''' It is round in shape and stores its DNA in a nucleolus and in fibrillar cytoplasmic material.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Culture of ''M. hyopneumoniae'' is difficult and time-consuming and requires specialised media. It grows slowly, requires 5-10% carbon dioxide and produces an acid colour shift. Because of the time taken, contamination is very common, especially with other [[Mycoplasmas]].

M.hyopneumoniae is a species of the Mycoplasmas genus. It causes Enzootic pneumonia of pigs.
M.hyopneumoniae occurs in unfavourable conditions with poor ventilation, overcrowding and temperature fluctuations. It results in stunted growth rates, coughing and occasionally respiratory distress due to consolidation in apical and cardiac lung lobes.
Immunofluorescence of lung tissue and complement fixation test or ELISA can be used for identification of M.hyopneumoniae. Treatment includes in-feed antibiotics such as tylosin, lincomycin and tiamulin. It is absent in specific-pathogen-free herds.
