Abstract
Colony opacity, hemadsorption and hemolysis of erythrocytes, and the ability of whole mycoplasmal cells to induce a blastogenic response when incubated with C3H/HeN or C57BL/6 mouse lymphocytes were examined for 18 strains of Mycoplasma pulmonis to determine if any of these characteristics could be associated with virulence in vivo. Although there were differences among strains in each of these characteristics, none of these parameters were associated with virulence.Entities:
