Abstract

Recently diagnostic cases of Mycoplasma screening from feline kept rising. In 2018 there were two cases in felines that were positively diagnosed as Mycoplasma co-infection in which one of the two cases was due to mycoplasmosis. Diagnosis of mycoplasmosis was based on isolation and identification using biochemical testing. Mycoplasma was successfully isolated from both cases. Based on the feline death case the result indicated that Mycoplasma gateae was isolated from the blood-stained trachea sample. In contrast none was isolated from the lung. As the infection was associated with other microorganisms this case concluded that the cause of death of the cat was due to Parvovirus with secondary infection of Mycoplasma gateae.
