| Abstract: | Forty semen samples from 40 stallions were examined for the presence of mycoplasmas. Mycoplasmas were isolated from 18 samples of semen, either immediately after collection or 3 months after storage at -20°C or in both cases. Ten of the isolates could be typed, nine as Mycoplasma equigenitalium and one as Acholeplasma laidlawii. Eight of the 18 isolates were lost during cultivation and storage; they were all glucose-positive and arginine-negative. |
