Abstract excerpt
In order to investigate its value for phylogenetic analysis, species characterisation and diagnosis, the 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer regions (ISRs) of the type strain of 23 avian Mycoplasma species were amplified and the sequences determined. Also sequenced were the reference strains of Mycoplasma iowae serotypes J, K, N, Q and R and a number of field strains of Mycoplasma synoviae, Mycoplasma gallisepticum,...
