Abstract
An assay for detecting the presence of Mycoplasma fermentans is disclosed, along with a diagnostic kit that uses the assay. The presence of Mycoplasma fermentans is indicated by the presence of the restriction endonuclease MfeI. This endonuclease recognizes the sequence CAATTG and cleaves between the C and the first A.
