PCR Methods for Detecting Bovine Respiratory Pathogens

Abstract

Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is an important disease in cattle production, BRD may be associated with one or more pathogens, of which Mycobacterium bovis, Mycoplasma bovis, and Klebsiella pneumoniae are three important pathogens. Fast and accurate detection methods are important for preventing and controlling BRD. This review focuses on the PCR detection methods for the above three pathogens in recent years.
