Impact of carbon dioxide concentrations on laboratory sensitivity of <i>Mycoplasma</i> species isolated from dairy cows
Current <i>Mycoplasma</i> spp. culture protocols lack empirical derivation concerning carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) supplementation and are primarily based on the initial cultivation of <i>Mycoplasma bovis</i>. This study indicates that the suitable range for CO<sub>2</sub> supplementation is broader than what is currently recommended by the National Mastitis Council for culturing within the specified 7-10 days. No differences in bacterial growth detection rates were observed among ambient air, 5% CO<sub>2</sub>, or 10% CO<sub>2</sub> supplementation during the 7- and 10-day incubation intervals. These new insights provide evidence supporting the possibility of culturing <i>Mycoplasma</i> spp. under ambient air conditions in a laboratory setting.
