Detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae genetic material in laryngeal swabs and tracheobronchial lavage fluid. A Percentage of pigs detected M. hyopneumoniae-positive in laryngeal swabs (LS) and tracheobronchial lavage fluid (TBLF) by real-time PCR. The LS and TBLF were obtained on seven samplings during the 28-day period following experimental inoculation with M. hyopneumoniae. The percentage of pigs detected positive for M. hyopneumoniae in TBLF was significantly higher at 14 and 21 dpi (p < 0.05). B Individual Ct values and mean from PCR detection of M. hyopneumoniae in TBLF samples from 10 inoculated pigs at different days post-inoculation. The Ct values of M. hyopneumoniae-negative samples were presented as 40, which is the arbitrary threshold value of M. hyopneumoniae PCR detection.
