An overview of Mycoplasma bovis mastitis in Israel (2004-2014).

The prevalence of Mycoplasma bovis in milk samples submitted to the Israeli National Service for Udder Health and Milk Quality was determined during the period 2004-2014 and the genetic pattern of the obtained isolates was assessed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Mycoplasma spp. were identified in 66 herds including M.

Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus licheniformis S127, Isolated from a Sheep Udder Clinical Infection.

Bacillus licheniformis is a Gram-positive biofilm- and endospore-forming bacterium, which contaminates dairy products and can be pathogenic to humans. The draft genome sequencing for B. licheniformis strain S127 is reported here, providing genetic data relevant to the ability of this strain to sustain its survival in the dairy industry.

Multiple locus variable number tandem repeat analysis of Mycoplasma bovis isolated from local and imported cattle.

Mycoplasma bovis is an important and emerging pathogen of cattle. In this study, multiple locus variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis was used to differentiate M. bovis type strain PG45 and 68 M.

Bovine subclinical mastitis caused by Mannheimia granulomatis.

Mannheimia granulomatis was isolated for 10 months from the milk of a cow with elevated somatic cell counts. The infection was self-limiting. Phenotypic and molecular characteristics of the isolate were determined.
