Fig. 2From: A European interlaboratory trial to evaluate the performance of different PCR methods for Mycoplasma bovis diagnosisDetermination of the analytical sensitivity of various M. bovis PCR assays in use by six laboratories (Lab 1 to Lab 6) on spiked bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples. Ten-fold serial dilutions (n = 7) of a mixture of 1 × 108 M. bovis CFU/ml were prepared in BALF resulting in a range of 1 × 107 to 1 × 101 M. bovis CFU/ml and tested by the various PCR methods. Viability of M. bovis in the BALF samples was verified with culture. Raw data to this figure are provided in Additional file 1Back to article page
