Mht. Liberal et E. Boughton, AN ATTEMPT TO IMPROVE BOVINE MYCOPLASMATALES PRIMARY ISOLATION, Pesquisa agropecuaria brasileira, 29(11), 1994, pp. 1789-1794
The sensitivity to 30 antibiotics of Mycoplasma (10 strains) and Achol
eplaslna (8 strains) was tested in an attempt to find a better one for
suppression of contamination in the culture media, used for primary i
solation of Mycoplasmatales. The most effective antibiotics for suppre
ssion of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms and did not inhibit
Mycoplasmatales were: carbenicillin, vancomycin and fosfomycin. Altho
ugh none of the antibacterial drugs that are inhibitors of cell wall s
ynthesis was active against Mycoplasmatales, the majority of them were
also ineffective against Gram-positive and/or Gram-negative contamina
nt bacteria.
