PPLO broth showing the growth of mycoplasma based on colour change of broth medium (1-4) and 5 negative control.
(A, B, C, D) Growth of mycoplasma colonies (colonies with star) on PPLO agar plate on day 4th-7th after the incubation.
Pure single type of colonies of Mycoplasma mycoides cluster members after 4th passage of the primary culture.
Overall prevalence of the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster and its members in four different zones.
Mycoplasma mycoides cluster recovered from different source of sample. Total number of samples was 2400. Nasal swab n=800, Tracheal swab n=800, Lungs tissue n=400, Pleural fluid n=400.
