Descriptor Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
Scope note: Especie de bacterias gramnegativas que producen la NEUMONÍA PORCINA POR MICOPLASMA. El microorganismo daña los CILIOS de las vías aéreas del cerdo, comprometiendo así una de las barreras más efectivas contra los patógenos invasores. El debilitamiento resultante del SISTEMA INMUNE puede provocar infecciones intercurrentes, que determinan el complejo de enfermedad respiratoria porcina.

Scope note: A species of gram-negative bacteria that causes MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIA OF SWINE. The organism damages the CILIA in the airways of the pig, and thus compromises one of the most effective mechanical barriers against invading pathogens. The resulting weakening of the IMMUNE SYSTEM can encourage secondary infections, leading to porcine respiratory disease complex.
