Detección de Ureaplasma spp. en pulmones de cerdos, con lesiones compatibles a la neumonía enzoótica porcina, procedentes de la región occidental y central de Cuba

Abstract

The Ureaplasmas are taxonomically located in the family Mycoplasmataceae, Mollicutes class. Although they are considered commensal of the genital tract, there are some species that are pathogenic for human and animals affecting the respiratory and urogenital tract. Internationally, there are few studies on Ureaplasmas affecting animals, being those affecting cattle more frequently reported.
