Use of<i>mgc2</i>-Polymerase Chain Reaction–Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism for Rapid Differentiation Between Field Isolates and Vaccine Strains of Mycoplasma gallisepticum in Israel

Abstract excerpt

Increasing use of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) live vaccines has led to a need for a rapid test for differentiation of MG field strains from the live vaccine strains ts-11 and 6/85. We examined the differentiating potential of diagnostic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers targeted to the gene mgc2, encoding a cytadherence-related surface protein uniquely present in MG. The mgc2-PCR diagnostic primers are...
