Abstract:
A DNA amplification test system for the detection of Mycoplasma fermentans in clinical specimens was developed. The system was used for the analysis of biological specimens obtained from experimentally infected animals. The infective agent could be detected during the whole period of observation (6 months). High sensitivity of the polymerase chain reaction made it possible to detect M.fermentans in much greater number of cases than with the use of serological techniques.
