Mycoplasma gallisepticum Strain Variations Detected by Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis

Abstract

Various strains of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) were examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Minor but distinct and reproducible differences in protein banding patterns were detected between strains, which included the vaccine F strain from various sources, an atypical (variant) strain, and the standard (A5969, S6) strains.
