Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the etiological agent of Porcine Enzootic Pneumonia, a chronic and contagious respiratory disease, responsible for considerable economic losses in the pig farms sector. Additionally, infection with this bacterium facilitates the occurrence of other infections, particulary Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) virus, extending the danger of clinical features. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is a small bacterium without cell wall and with a relatively small genome. This bacterium growth in laboratory conditions is very difficult, since it has complex nutritional requirements.
