Abstract

Eighty-one strans of Mycoplasma arginini were isolated from swabs and tissues cultured from a series of 555 cats. The majority of these strains (84%) were recovered from the oropharyngeal regions. M. arginini was experimentally inoculated into young kittens. No clinical disease was produced. However, there was rapid colonization in the inoculated sites.
