The detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in clinical samples is usually determined by PCR targeting bacterial DNA. However, a positive M. hyopneumoniae PCR result may eventually represent the detection of non-viable bacteria, complicating the diagnostic interpretation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the PCR detection of non-viable M. hyopneumoniae and its residual cell-free DNA in live pigs.
