Immunoperoxidase technique for identification of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and M. synoviae.

The direct immunoperoxidase technique was applied to the identification of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and M. synoviae by staining colonies on the agar plate. The results of this technique applied to 50 isolates of M. gallisepticum and M. synoviae correlated with those of the agar gel precipitation test to the same isolates. The immunoperoxidase technique was proved to be a specific and reliable method for the identification of M. gallisepticum and M. synoviae.
