| comparative geno-plasticity analysis of mycoplasma bovis hb0801 (chinese isolate). | mycoplasma bovis pneumonia in cattle has been epidemic in china since 2008. to investigate m. bovis pathogenesis, we completed genome sequencing of strain hb0801 isolated from a lesioned bovine lung from hubei, china. the genomic plasticity was determined by comparing hb0801 with m. bovis strain atcc® 25523™/pg45 from cow mastitis milk, chinese strain hubei-1 from lesioned lung tissue, and 16 other mycoplasmas species. compared to pg45, the genome size of hb0801 was reduced by 11.7 kb. furthermo ... | 2012 | 22693604 |
