To study the effect of antibiotics upon Mycoplasma bovis in fresh bovine semen just before freezing, specimens of bovine semen were artificially injected with 1 of 9 different strains of M. bovis. Inocula of each strain were prepared to contain 10 5 to 10 6 /mL colony-forming units of M. bovis at 3 different stages of the growth phase. The infected semen was diluted with a Tris extender by a 3-step procedure using an antibiotic mixture of gentamicin, tylosin, lincomycin and Spectinomycin (cas 1695-77-8) (GTLS). This semen-antibiotic mixture was placed into French straws that were stored at -196 o C. The control semen specimens contained no antibiotics. Mycoplasmas were counted after 8 d of storage in 3 decimal dilutions of the frozen semen.No evident effect was noticed upon the 9 tested strains of mycoplasmas in the semen frozen with the antibiotics, compared with that of the untreated control samples. It was further shown that this lack of effect was irrespective of the stage of the growth phase of the mycoplasmas. It was concluded that the antibiotic mixture (GTLS) in semen specimens is not capable of total elimination of mycoplasmas in frozen bovine semen.
