Acridine orange staining for diagnosis of Mycoplasma bovis infection in cow milk.

RESUMO
Mycoplasma organisms were readily recognized in samples of milk or udder secretions from cows with clinical Mycoplasma bovis mastitis when these samples were stained with 0.01% acridine orange at pH 3.0. Samples could be stored at -4 degrees C for several days or subjected to repeated freezing and thawing without loss of staining or fluorescence properties. Use of this procedure in diagnostic laboratories on suspect samples from cows with clinical mastitis could hasten inauguration of control measures against this highly contagious disease by several days; however, definitive diagnosis still requires standard culture methods.
