Cytadsorption of Mycoplasma pulmonis to Rat Ependyma

PMCID: PMC350855  PMID: 7298189

Abstract

Mycoplasma pulmonis was inoculated intracerebrally into neonatal rats. Hydrocephalus was induced, and the lateral ventricles and aqueduct were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Mycoplasmas were observed to be cytadsorbed to the ependymal surface.
