Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae detection kits

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is a bacterium that adheres to cilia of the swine respiratory tract, resulting in loss of cilia and epithelial cell damage. As a single infection, it causes enzootic pneumonia, a prevalent and persistent respiratory disease of swine. In combination with other respiratory pathogens, i.e., porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus or swine influenza virus, however, pneumonia due to the second pathogen is significantly enhanced.
