title: Direct detection of Mycoplasma bovis in milk and tissue samples by real-time PCR.
abstract: Bovine mastitis caused by Mycoplasma bovis is of great economic importance to the beef and dairy industry. Here we describe a new specific real-time PCR assay targeting the uvrC gene that was developed to directly detect M. bovis from milk and tissue samples without laborious DNA purification.
