A METHOD FOR DETECTION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF MYCOPLASMA GALLISEPTICUM STRAINS

摘要

THE PRESENT INVENTION PROVIDES A METHOD OF SIMULTANEOUSLY DETECTING AND DIFFERENTIATING MYCOPLASMA GALLISEPTICUM STRAINS THAT CAUSE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS IN AVIAN SPECIES. THE METHOD INCLUDES PROVIDING A NUCLEIC ACID PREPARED FROM A SUSPECTED BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE, AMPLIFYING THE NUCLEIC ACID WITH AMPLIFICATION PRIMERS SPECIFIC FOR TARGET GENOMIC REGIONS OF MYCOPLASMA GALLISEPTICUM, AND DETECTING THE AMPLIFICATION PRODUCTS. THE INVENTION ALSO RELATES TO A DIAGNOSTIC KIT FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTIVE METHOD. MOST ILLUSTRATIVE
