Abstract:
Molecular microbiology provides a rapid, reliable, sensitive, and specific means of detecting pathogens in laboratory animals. The author discusses the interpretation of the results of molecular microbiological testing done in conjunction with serologic, bacteriologic, and histopathologic tests, focusing on molecular microbiology as it fits in an overall program of animal health diagnostic profiling.
