| moraxella caprae sp. nov., a new member of the classical moraxellae with very close affinity to moraxella bovis. | eight phenotypically homogeneous moraxella-like strains were isolated from the nasal flora of healthy goats. total genomic dna-dna hybridization, dna base composition determination, and genetic transformation studies were performed to determine the relationships of these bacteria to the classical moraxellae. the eight new isolates exhibited very high levels of genetic affinity to moraxella bovis, as shown by quantitative and qualitative genetic transformation data, and exhibited high dna-dna rel ... | 1995 | 8590674 |
| culture-independent identification of bacteria associated with ovine 'broken mouth' periodontitis. | 'broken mouth' periodontitis (bmp) is a painful condition of sheep grazed on rough pasture and involves periodontal infection of the incisor teeth and progressive tooth loss. this can reduce the efficiency of grazing of sheep, which contributes to malnutrition, weight loss, systemic health problems, poor quality of life and early culling from flocks. consequently, this condition is a major economic problem to sheep farmers. however, there are no treatment or control methods available. the aim of ... | 2013 | 23928119 |
