Mycoplasmas often occur in dog populations and are sometimes considered as commensals in the literature. Yet, they are also associated with diseases of the urogenital region and with infertility. Clinically, an infection with canine mycoplasma can cause prostatitis and/or orchitis in male dogs, and can, amongst others, lead to endometritis in female dogs. However, mycoplasmas may also play a role in canine respiratory diseases. As it is difficult to cultivate mycoplasma, PCR detection is the method of choice.
