Biofilm characterisation of Mycoplasma bovis co-cultured with Trueperella pyogenes.

ABSTRACT: Mycoplasma pneumonia, caused by Mycoplasma bovis (Mycoplasmopsis bovis; M. bovis), is linked with severe inflammatory reactions in the lungs and can be challenging to treat with antibiotics. Biofilms play a significant role in bacterial persistence and contribute to the development of chronic lesions. A recent study has shown that polymicrobial interactions between species are an important factor in biofilm formation, yet the precise mechanism of biofilm formation in M. bovis remains unknown. By assuming multiple pathogen infections in the bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC), this study examined the characterisation of the polymicrobial relationship between M. bovis and Trueperella pyogenes (T. pyogenes) during biofilm formation. Autopsies were performed on four Holstein calves (two
