Urinalysis, haematological and biochemical analyses were also performed. Bacteria were isolated from urine in 41 of 100 dogs; Mycoplasma canis was isolated from four of 100 (4%) urine samples and three were pure culture. Selective mycoplasma media were used for isolation. In growth inhibition test, propagation of the four M. canis isolates was inhibited by their specific hyperimmune sera and there was no cross reactivity between isolates and hyperimmune sera of other mycoplasmas. Dogs in which M. caniswas isolated were azotemic. All dogs were treated with enrofloxacin, furosemide, and supportive therapy (fluid therapy, ascorbic acid). In all animals, clinical improvements were observed after treatment.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessVeterinary sciencesMycoplasmatalesMycoplasma canisMycoplasmaCanis familiarisBacteria (microorganisms)AnimaliaUrinary tract infectionsUrinalysisTreatment outcomeMycoplasma infectionsMaleFemaleDogsDog diseasesBlood chemical analysisAnti-bacterial agentsAnimalsArticle0002409550000112-s2.0-3374748087337938253716922838Veterinary sciencesCanid Herpesvirus 1; Canine Coronavirus; Canine Distemper VirusAntiinfective agentUrinary tract infectionUrinalysisTreatment outcomeMaleFemaleDog diseaseDogBlood analysisBacterial infectionArticleAnimal diseaseAnimal
