Abstract excerpt
Mycoplasma gallisepticum is an economically important pathogen of commercial poultry. An improved understanding of M. gallisepticum pathogenesis is required to develop better control methods. We recently identified a number of M. gallisepticum mutants with defects in colonization and persistence in chickens using signature-tagged transposon mutagenesis. Loss of virulence was associated with mutations in a...
