| phylogeny of the mycoplasma mycoides cluster based on analysis of five conserved protein-coding sequences and possible implications for the taxonomy of the group. | a phylogenetic tree of the mycoplasma mycoides cluster was inferred from a set of concatenated sequences from five housekeeping genes (fusa, glpq, gyrb, lepa and rpob). the relevance of this phylogeny was reinforced by detailed analysis of the congruence of the phylogenies derived from each of the five individual gene sequences. two subclusters were distinguished. the m. mycoides subcluster comprised m. mycoides subsp. mycoides biotypes small colony (sc) and large colony (lc) and m. mycoides sub ... | 2007 | 17911291 |
| characterization of a chromosomal region of mycoplasma sp. bovine group 7 strain pg50 encoding a glycerol transport locus (gtsabc). | mycoplasma species bovine group 7, represented by the type strain pg50, is one of six members of the mycoplasma mycoides cluster and has been implicated in sporadic and outbreak cases of polyarthritis and mastitis in australian dairy cattle. this study describes cloning and sequencing a 7.9 kb region of the pg50 chromosome and identification of genes involved in glycerol transport (gtsa, gtsb and gtsc) that are followed by a putative lipoprotein gene lppb and a genomic locus containing two orfs ... | 2003 | 12576593 |
| genetic diversity among mycoplasma species bovine group 7: clonal isolates from an outbreak of polyarthritis, mastitis, and abortion in dairy cattle. | a comprehensive genetic analysis of 60 mycoplasma sp. bovine group 7 isolates from different geographic origins and epidemiological settings is presented. twenty-four isolates were recovered from the joints of calves during sporadic episodes of polyarthritis in geographically distinct regions of queensland and new south wales, australia, including two clones of the type strain pg5o. a further three australian isolates were also recovered from the tympanic bulla, retropharyngeal lymph node and th ... | 2001 | 11669541 |
