Abstract
Mycoplasma mastitis has been recognized as an emerging disease with a significant impact on the dairy industry. This study aimed to determine the genotypic distribution of some Mycoplasma and Acoleplasma spp isolated from two commercial dairy farms in South Australia based on 16S rRNA sequencing, and compare their evolutionary relationship to some similar isolates from elsewhere. Neighbour-joining phylogeny of 16S rRNA demonstrated the involvement of four different spp. isolated from Farm 1 including: M. bovis, M. bovirhinis, Acholeplasma laidlawii and A. axanthum while M. alkalescens was isolated from Farm 2. Two strains of M. bovis showed similarity to Egyptian, Hungarian and Chinese strains. M. bovirhinis clustered with the Egyptian group. Mycoplasma alkalescens grouped with Swedish and Japanese strains. The Acholeplasma group showed two distinct clusters of A. laidlawii and A. axanthum. Determination of the species/genera involved in mastitis may enhance the molecular epidemiology and in-turn can contribute to controlling strategies of the disease.
