A gene probe, CAP-21, which demonstrated interrelationships between the members of the Mycoplusma mycoides cluster w a s developed. The probe easily differentiated mycoplasmas in this cluster by clear and predictable hybridization patterns in Southern blots and separated the cluster into four groups. Strains of M. mycoides subsp, mycoides which were capable of causing contagious bovine pleuropn...
