Abstract excerpt
Variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) analysis has been developed for the causative agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia using the genome of Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides small colony (M.m.m. SC) PG1. Genome analysis identified 60 VNTRs within the M.m.m. SC genome; however, screening of these VNTRs with a panel of strains identified only three VNTRs that gave allelic variation. Testing of three...
