Abstract excerpt

It is becoming apparent that a high rate of variability of surface structures is a ubiquitous property among mycoplasmas. The present study demonstrates how variations in the size of the V-1 antigen (a major surface antigen of Mycoplasma pulmonis thought to be associated with virulence) are reflected by phenotypic differences (cytadherence) that may play a role in virulence of the organism. Furthermore, a similar...
