| identification of two pathogenic avian mycoplasmas as strains of mycoplasma pullorum. | two mycoplasma strains were isolated from dead turkey embryos. growth properties, biochemical and serological characteristics, and protein profiles indicated that these strains were closely related to mycoplasma pullorum ckkt (t = type strain). this was confirmed by 16s rrna sequence analysis, and the phylogenetic position of m. pullorum was established. pathogenicity studies showed that the two strains, as well as m. pullorum ckkt, induced a statistically significant level of mortality after in ... | 1997 | 8995821 |
| the characterization of mycoplasma synoviae ef-tu protein and proteins involved in hemadherence and their n-terminal amino acid sequences. | an abundant cytoplasmic 43-kda protein from mycoplasma synoviae, a major pathogen from poultry, was identified as elongation factor tu. the n-terminal amino acid sequence (akldfdrskehvnvgtighv) has 90% identity with the sequence of the mycoplasma hominis elongation factor tu protein. monoclonal antibodies reacting with the m. synoviae elongation factor tu protein also reacted with 43-kda proteins from the avian mycoplasma species mycoplasma gallinarum, mycoplasma gallinaceum, mycoplasma pullorum ... | 1999 | 10220885 |
| mycoplasmas and respiratory disease in pheasants and partridges. | pheasants and partridges with signs of upper respiratory disease were cultured for mycoplasmas and were also examined for mycoplasma gallisepticum and mycoplasma synoviae using commercial polymerase chain reaction (pcr) kits. sixty-two incidents of disease were investigated in pheasants and 12 in partridges. m. gallisepticum was detected by culture in only four and three incidents in pheasants and partridges, respectively, but with pcr a further 15 m. gallisepticum-positive incidents were detect ... | 2001 | 19184924 |
| complete genome sequence of mycoplasma pullorum isolated from domestic chickens. | the 1,007,172-bp complete genome of mycoplasma pullorum strain b359_6, isolated from domestic chickens, has been sequenced, assembled, and annotated. | 2017 | 28232441 |
