Alveolar stability and phospolipid content in normal pig lungs and in pig lungs with Mycoplasma pneumonia.
In pig lungs with enzootic pneumonia (a mycoplasma infection) a considerably higher phospholipid content was measured than in normal lungs, in spite of a reduced surfactant function in these lungs.
