AI Article Synopsis
- Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides small colony biotype (SC) is a serious animal pathogen responsible for contagious bovine pleuropneumonia.
- The complete genome sequences of the pathogenic strain M. mycoides subsp. mycoides SC Gladysdale and a related pathogen, Mycoplasma leachii PG50(T), have been reported.
- These studies enhance our understanding of the genetic makeup of these harmful bacteria within the same phylogenetic group affecting cattle.
Article Abstract
Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides small colony biotype (SC) is the high-consequence animal pathogen causing contagious bovine pleuropneumonia. We report the complete genome sequences of the pathogenic strain M. mycoides subsp. mycoides SC Gladysdale and a close phylogenetic relative, Mycoplasma leachii PG50(T), another bovine pathogen of the M. mycoides phylogenetic clade.
