Abstract
Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) can cause respiratory disease in chickens and result in serious economic losses in the chicken industry. The use of live vaccines has been a favorable option for the control of MG infection in multi-age commercial layers and broiler breeders. There are three live vaccines, including ts-11, 6/85, and F strain, that have been commonly used in various parts of the world, including South Korea. The definitive diagnosis of the infection, therefore, requires the differentiation of wild-type field strains of MG from the vaccine strains used. Thus, we aimed to develop a novel multiplex PCR assay to discriminate between vaccine strains (ts-11, 6/85, and F strain) and wild-type field strains of MG isolated from infected chickens. We designed four novel primer sets that are each specific to MG species, ts-11, 6/85, and F strain. The multiplex PCR assay using the primer sets differentially identified wild-type and vaccine strains of MG but did not detect other avian bacteria. The detection limit of this assay was 250 fg/μL of genomic DNA of each strain tested. In addition, this assay was applied to 36 MG strains isolated from chickens over the past 20 years in South Korea. As a result, the assay identified 22 wild-type strains and 14 vaccine strains. Consequently, the novel multiplex PCR assay can discriminate between vaccine and wild-type field strains of MG and could be a valuable tool for the diagnosis of MG infection in MG-vaccinated chicken flocks.
