Evaluation of Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism for Differentiation of Avian Mycoplasma Species

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was used for typing avian mycoplasma species. Forty-four avian mycoplasma strains were successfully typed into eight distinct groups, with each representing a different species. Homology of AFLP patterns of 35% or less was used as a cutoff value to diffe...
