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. bovis (n = 60), M. cottewii (n = 3), M. bovigenitalium (n = 2), M. alkalescens (n = 2) and M. yeatsii (n = 1). The proportion of M. bovis infected herds was relatively low (0-0.68%) in 2004-2007, increased to 3.77% during the 2008 outbreak, and ranged from 0.77 to 2.77% during the 2009-2014 period. Since 2008, about eight M. bovis positive dairy herds have been identified in Israel annually, with six of which on average being newly infected. MLST of 57 M. bovis isolates revealed that sequence type 10 was the dominant genotype identified in 60% of the herds. In conclusion, these data show that M. bovis is the main mycoplasmal mastitic pathogen in Israel.

spp. are facultative pathogens that contribute to the pathogenesis of multiple bovine diseases, including the bovine respiratory disease complex, and have been shown to form biofilms. Biofilm formation is associated with increased antibiotic resistance in many organisms, but accurate determination of antimicrobial susceptibility in biofilms is challenging.

In vitro three-dimensional organoid models simulate key aspects of the structure and function of in vivo organs and have been used to study physiology, host-pathogen interactions, pathogenesis and pharmacodynamics. Although most organoid studies have been developed using human or mouse tissues, recent advancements have enabled the establishment of intestinal and respiratory tract organoids from domestic animal samples. Mycoplasma bovis causes chronic respiratory tract infections in cattle with significant health and economic consequences.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) infection in cattle, which can cause various health issues, aiming to analyze the genetic diversity of M. bovis strains from clinical samples in Ireland and Scotland.
- - Researchers sequenced the genomes of 24 M. bovis strains (19 from Ireland and 5 from Scotland) and compared them to 117 existing genetic assemblies to create a phylogenetic tree, identifying Irish strains in two groups and all Scottish strains in one.
- - The findings highlight the similarities between Irish and Scottish M. bovis strains and underscore the importance of biosecurity in cattle management due to the global spread of this infection facilitated by international cattle movement.

Mycoplasma bovis has emerged as a significant pathogen in cattle, leading to considerable economic losses in the cattle industry. It is associated with various clinical syndromes, including pneumoniae, mastitis, and arthritis. The innate immune response, particularly macrophages, plays a crucial role in combating infections caused by such pathogens.
