Complete Genome Sequences of Two Mycoplasma Gallisepticum F-Strain Variants.

Mycoplasma gallisepticum pathology in poultry is preventable by vaccination with live M. gallisepticum vaccines. Research has suggested possible differences in host response between F-strain-based vaccines. The genomes of the AviPro vaccine and F99 parent strains were sequenced for comparison with the already sequenced F-strain vaccine.
