title: Comparison of protein patterns between invasive and non-invasive ovine strains of Chlamydia psittaci.
abstract: Protein patterns displayed in sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) electrophoresis by invasive and noninvasive strains of Chlamydia psittaci showed three constant differences, the most distinctive being a band at 90 Kd from invasive strains. In comparison with other methods so far described, this method provides a more efficient means of differentiating between invasive and non-invasive strains. Furthermore, it may lead to the development of improved methods of diagnosis.
