Abstract

The electrophoretic patterns of avian mycoplasmas (9 reference strains and 9 locally isolated strains) were studied. Two common protein bands were detected among Mycoplasma gallisepticum reference strains, the remaining bands were considered as specific and characteristic for each strain. Mycoplasma gallinarum, M. pullorum, M. iners and M. gallopavonis (reference strains) were found to have a common protein band, while the remaining bands were considered specific for each strain. In comparison between the reference and locally isolated strains revealed the M.gallisepticum (3 strains) were similar to the homologus reference strain. M. p < /em>ullorum (3 strains) were found to be identical with reference strain type C M. pullorum.
