Abstract
Eighteen strains of Mycoplasma hyorhinis and a strain of Mycoplasma suipneumoniae were tested in 4 serological tests, i. e., disc growth inhibition, metabolic inhibition, indirect haemagglutination and indirect epi-immunofluorescence. Only with immunofluorescence could all tested strains of M. hyorhinis be shown; no cross-reactions between M. hyorhinis and M. suipneumoniae could be detected. The other tests failed in many cases to identify strains of the same species, and they gave cross-reactions between M. hyorhinis and M. suipneumoniae.Keywords
