Characterization of circulating Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae variants in the Midwestern United States using Multiple-Locus Variable number tandem repeat Analysis and P146 gene sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

In the United States, Multiple-Locus Variable number tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) and complete P146 gene sequence are employed to characterize Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae from clinical samples. However, a comparison of MLVA and P146 sequencing and interpretation of assay results has not been conducted. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize and compare M. hyopneumoniae variants detected in the...
