A Non-Radioactive DNA Probe for the Detection ofMycoplasma pulmonisin Murine Mycoplasmosis

Abstract
A non-radioactive DNA probe for the detection of Mycoplasma pulmonis was developed by using photobiotin. The probe detected 0.3 ng chromosomal DNA of M. pulmonis. No cross-hybridization was observed between the probe and the other murine mycoplasma species, M. arthritids and M. neurolyticum.
