Mycoplasmas are considered benign microorganisms however when they penetrate into blood vessels and colonise in major organs certain species can cause acute and chronic illness with a broad spectrum of diseases
Adjuvants are known as the 'dirty little secrets' of vaccine manufacturers. They are ingredients added to vaccines to agitate a response, in addition there are common vaccine contaminants which include Mycoplasmas, fungi, bacteria, yeast and viruses that have evaded screening.
The use of contaminated cells for vaccine production results in contaminated vaccines which can lead to seroconversion or disease in vaccinate animals, contaminated serum or cell cultures can interfere with diagnosis of viral infections
A study by DH Thorton found veterinary vaccines from 6 sources for use in dogs and cats were contaminated with Mycoplasma. In one study 87% of vaccines were found to be contaminated with mycoplasma alone
Mycoplasmas are endowed with sophisticated genetic machinery for altering their surface attributes which play a key role in enabling evasion of ‘host defences’
Mycoplasmas are of great importance because of the deleterious effects they have upon the infected host’s cells. It is not unusual t find a combination of mycoplasma species involved in arthritic infections
Adjuvant Arthritis is an induced arthritis, relapsing in nature and an erosive form of synovitis. Mycoplasma arthritis may occur with other infections, as well as swelling and ‘heat’ in the joints, further examination will show cartilage erosion which may be replaced with granulation tissue
Parvovirus and mycoplasmas mirror each other. Both cause arthritis, false-negative results and both mimic other illnesses. Parvovirus is found in the synovial membrane and mycoplasmas are found in the synovial fluid
Mycoplasmas have been known to have a complex relationship with the immune system. They are very effective at evading host immune responses and their synergism with other infective agents has been seen, although many signs and symptoms that they cause are non-specific, they seem to be related to immunological and auto immunological responses
There is increasing evidence that mycoplasmas play a role in certain forms of arthritis and autoimmune disease in the pathogenesis of certain chronic diseases, but little is known as to if it is the causal agent, a cofactor or a secondary ‘super infection’ in those with immune disturbances. It is known though that they are able to induce immune dysfunctions and autoimmune reactions
Non-specific interactions between mycoplasma and B-lymphocytes have been implicated in disease pathogenesis possibly leading to immune reactions, modulation of immunity and/or promotion of lesion development and are an important factor or cofactor in various joint diseases
Mycoplasmas can produce a variety of effects on host cells and tissues. Besides affecting cell growth and morphology, mycoplasmas are able to alter metabolic, immunological and biochemical functions.
There seems to be a complex relationship between mycoplasma infections and the immune system of the host. For example, Mycoplasma Arthritidis related super antigens are known to compromise T-cells and trigger and exacerbate autoimmune arthritis in animals
Mycoplasmal infections lead to increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 1,2,4 and 6 further increasing the possibility of M. Arthritidis and other mycoplasmal species are responsible in, at least part of certain types of arthritis and inflammatory disease
Mycoplasmal infections have been associated with various inflammatory diseases such as endocarditis, percarditis, encephalomyelitis etc where immunological or autoimmune phenomena’s coexist
I came across this article in the link below several years ago when I was looking into vaccines & arthritis in dogs and discovered mycoplasmas were vaccine contaminants.
