Abstract excerpt
Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae (M. capripneumoniae), the causal agent of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP), is a member of the so-called Mycoplasma mycoides cluster. These mycoplasmas have two rRNA operons in which intraspecific variations have been demonstrated. The sequences of the 16S rRNA genes of both operons from 13 field strains of M. capripneumoniae from three neighbouring African...
