Abstract
This work aimed to detect Mycoplasma cynos, M. canis, M. edwardii, and M. molarein different types of kennels, in addition to evaluating their distribution in different colonization sites. The dogs belonged to different kennels from armed forces (n= 3), shelters (n= 3), and commercial purposes (n= 2). Samples of the oropharynx, genital mucosa, and ear canal were collected from each dog (n= 98), totaling 294 samples. Aliquots were submitted to isolation and the samples confirmed as Mycoplasmaspp. were subjected to conventional PCR for M. canisand multiplex PCR for M. edwardii, M. molare, and M. cynosdetection. Of the 98 dogs studied, 63.3% (62) were positive in at least one anatomical site evaluated for Mycoplasmaspp. Among the 111 anatomical sites positive for Mycoplasmaspp., M. canis, M. edwardii, and M. molarewere detected in 29.7% (33/111), 40.5% (45/111), and 2.70% (3/111), respectively. No animal was positive for M. cynos.
