  • Title: Effects of lymecycline on Mycoplasma pulmonis-induced arthritis in mice.
    Author: Taylor G, Taylor-Robinson D, Keystone EC.
    Journal: Br J Exp Pathol; 1978 Apr; 59(2):204-12. PubMed ID: 656320.
    Abstract:
    The effect of lymecycline treatment on arthritis in C3H mice produced 5 months previously by i.v. inoculation of Mycoplasma pulmonis was examined. Treatment had little effect on the severity of the clinical disease. However, there was a marked reduction the severity of the histopathological inflammatory reaction in joints from lymecycline-treated mice when compared with untreated controls. This reduction was associated with eradication of viable mycoplasmas from the joints. The findings suggest that persistent arthritis in C3H mice is due to the continued presence of viable M. pulmonis organisms in the joint tissues.
