| mycoplasma auris sp. nov., mycoplasma cottewii sp. nov., and mycoplasma yeatsii sp. nov., new sterol-requiring mollicutes from the external ear canals of goats. | three mycoplasma strains, designated giht (t = type strain), uiat, and vist, were isolated from the external ear canals of goats and were shown to be serologically distinct from each other and from previously described acholeplasma, entomoplasma, mesoplasma, and mycoplasma species. using light and transmission electron microscopy, we showed that the cells of these organisms were small, pleomorphic, coccoid, nonmotile, and nonhelical and that each cell was surrounded by a single cytoplasmic membr ... | 1994 | 8068541 |
| sequences of the 16s rrna genes and phylogeny of the goat mycoplasmas mycoplasma adleri, mycoplasma auris, mycoplasma cottewii and mycoplasma yeatsii. | the nucleotide sequences of the 16s rrna genes from the type strains of four goat mycoplasmas, mycoplasma adleri, mycoplasma auris, mycoplasma cottewii and mycoplasma yeatsii, were determined by direct solid-phase dna sequencing. polymorphisms were found in two of the 16s rrna gene sequences, showing the existence of two different rrna operons. three polymorphisms were found in m. adleri, and one was found in m. yeatsii. the sequence information was used for the construction of phylogenetic tree ... | 1998 | 9542096 |
| a specific pcr for the detection of mycoplasma putrefaciens, one of the agents of the contagious agalactia syndrome of goats. | mycoplasma putrefaciens is listed as one of the etiologic agents of the contagious agalactia syndrome by the world organisation for animal health. this species has been characterized only recently, 1974, and the number of outbreaks caused by this microorganism so far is very scarce. it induces mastitis in infected goats although other symptoms such as arthritis in adults and septicaemia in kids are also frequently described. up to now, the identification of m. putrefaciens relied on classical is ... | 2003 | 14602479 |
| 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 |
| association of raillietia caprae with the presence of mycoplasmas in the external ear canal of goats. | we did a descriptive study to determine whether the presence in the external ear canal of the raillietia caprae mites and mycoplasmas were associated. for that we sampled 360 goats slaughtered at abattoirs in the summer to identify those infested with the mite. we found only 20 infested, so used all of those plus another 47 uninfested goats selected systematically from the population negative for the isolation of mycoplasmas. these goats came from the regions of queretaro, guanajuato, sinaloa an ... | 2009 | 19733407 |
| development of a novel plasmid as a shuttle vector for heterologous gene expression in mycoplasma yeatsii. | a circular plasmid, pmybk1, was detected in mycoplasma yeatsii strain gih(t). analysis of the sequence of the 3432-bp replicon identified two predicted open reading frames (orfs), one with sequence similarity to multiple plasmid mobilization proteins and one that matches only to hypothetical orfs encoded by integrated chromosomal elements in the sequenced genomes of two mycoplasma species. shuttle vectors were constructed in escherichia coli which could be introduced into m. yeatsii at high effi ... | 2012 | 22968084 |
| draft genome sequences of mycoplasma auris and mycoplasma yeatsii, two species of the ear canal of caprinae. | we report here the draft genome sequences of mycoplasma auris and mycoplasma yeatsii, two species commonly isolated from the external ear canal of caprinae. | 2013 | 23766401 |
| genome sequence analysis of mycoplasma sp. hu2014, isolated from tissue culture. | the draft genome sequence of a novel mycoplasma strain, designated mycoplasma sp. hu2014, has been determined. the genome comprises 1,084,927 nucleotides and was obtained from a mycoplasma-infected culture of chicken dt40 cells. phylogenetic analysis places this taxon in a group comprising the closely related species mycoplasma yeatsii and mycoplasma cottewii. | 2015 | 26383655 |
| complete genome sequence of mycoplasma yeatsii strain gm274b (atcc 43094). | mycoplasma yeatsii is a goat mycoplasma species that, although an obligate parasite, accommodates this lifestyle as an inapparent commensalist. high-frequency transformation has also been reported for this species. the complete 895,051-bp genome sequence of strain gm274b has been determined, enabling an analysis of the features of this potential cloning host. | 2015 | 25908137 |
