  • Title: Detection of Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection in field samples using a species-specific DNA probe.
    Author: Khan MI, Kleven SH.
    Journal: Avian Dis; 1993; 37(3):880-3. PubMed ID: 8257385.
    Abstract:
    Species-specific DNA probes for Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) were compared with serologic and isolation procedures as a routine diagnostic tool on field specimens acquired from chicken flocks experiencing egg-production losses and suspected of MG infection. The MG DNA probe clearly identified MG directly from tracheal specimens within 2 days, unlike the 7 to 10 days required for culture procedures. Cross-reaction of MG with M. synoviae continues to be a stumbling block in the serum plate agglutination test.
