From: Animal model of Mycoplasma fermentans respiratory infection
Lung damage produced by mycoplasma infection. Macroscopic appearance of lungs A. Control (uninfected hamster), B. hamster inoculated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, C. hamster inoculated with Mycoplasma fermentans PG18 and D. hamster infected with Mycoplasma fermentans P 140. Animals infected (B, C, D) were injected with 0.1 ml of 106 CFU/ml of a culture of mycoplasmas. Mycoplasmas were recovered from the infected lungs.
