title: Isolation of Mycoplasma bovirhinis from the kidneys of a bull with urinary obstruction and subacute nephritis.
abstract: A bull with urethral obstruction secondary to urolithiasis died following exploratory laparotomy. Postmortem examination revealed renal, cystic, and urethral calculi. Gross and histologic findings were consistent with acute urethral and bilateral renal obstruction. Bacteriologic culture of renal tissue revealed Mycoplasma bovirhinis.
