A Real-Time PCR for Detection and Quantification of Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae

抄録

A real-time PCR for detection and quantification of M. ovipneumoniae was developed using 9 recently sequenced M. ovipneumoniae genomes and primers targeting a putative adhesin gene p113. The assay proved to be specific and sensitive (with a detection limit of 22 genomic DNA) and could quantify M. ovipneumoniae DNA over a wide linear range, from 2.2 × 10² to 2.2 × 10⁷ genomes.
