Abstracts should be submitted as a contiguous paragraph; do not divide your abstract into sections. Abstracts do not have to be associated with a USOM member laboratory, but must be relevant to an aspect of mycoplasmology. Late-breaking abstracts will now be accepted for submission through June 21st.
