Abstract

An easy, rapid tissue culture method for detection of is described. The organism induces morphological changes in mink S + L - cells. This effect was not observed in eight other animal cell lines infected by and it did not occur in the mink cells infected with six other strains of mycoplasma. This cell system should be useful in research laboratories which do not have other standard techniques available for monitoring the presence of .
