ABSTRACT:
The invention described herein consists of methods and materials for the detection of mycoplasma infections. Mycoplasma infections may be detected in cell cultures and in animals. The subject methods use polynucleotide primer pairs that are capable of hybridizing to mycoplasma tRNA genes so as to provide for the generation of a distinctive set of amplification products when the primers are used in a cyclic amplification synthesis reaction, such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction). In addition to detecting mycoplasma infections, the subject methods may be used to identify the particular species of mycoplasma causing the infection. The subject invention also provides for primers and kits for performing the subject methods.
