Mycoplasma iowae was mixed with turkey semen, incubated at 40 C in a water bath, and sampled at different intervals. The M. iowae remained viable throughout a 48-hr incubation period.

Mycoplasmas are wall-less bacteria with many species spread across various animal hosts in which they can be pathogenic. Despite their reduced anabolic capacity, some mycoplasmas are known to secrete hetero- and homopolysaccharides, which play a role in host colonization through biofilm formation or immune evasion, for instance. This study explores how widespread the phenomenon of capsular homopolysaccharide secretion is within mycoplasmas, and investigates the diversity of both the molecules produced and the synthase-type glycosyltransferases responsible for their production.

Mycoplasmas are known as the minimalist microorganisms in the microbes' world. Their minimalist nature makes them highly sensitive to the environmental conditions and limits their ability to survive for extended periods outside their animal host. Nevertheless, there are documented instances of mycoplasma transmission over significant distances and this phenomenon may be linked to relatively unexplored abilities of mycoplasmas, such as their capacity to synthesize biofilm-the predominant mode of bacterial growth in nature.

Article Synopsis
- * This study aimed to develop two new high-resolution genotyping assays: multiple-locus variable number of tandem-repeats analysis (MLVA) and core genome multi-locus sequence typing (cgMLST), to improve strain identification and epidemiological investigations.
- * The new assays successfully identified distinct genotypes and sequence types among various M. iowae strains, showing congruent results and high discriminatory power, which supports their effectiveness for genetic analysis of this pathogen.

Malacoplasma iowae, previously known as "Mycoplasma iowae," is associated with embryo mortality, reduced hatchability, and leg abnormalities in turkeys, leading to considerable economic losses. Here, we report the complete and annotated genome sequence of Malacoplasma iowae type strain 695.

a potential re-emerging avian pathogen mainly affecting turkeys, has been reported from many parts of the world. Poor hatchability, embryonic death, joint and skeletal abnormalities, poor ossification, runting-stunting, poor feathering and airsacculitis may be observed in infected flocks. The reduction of the severity of clinical signs and short-term control of are performed by antibiotic treatment.
