There is a worldwide problem of disease caused by Mycoplasma (M.) bovis in cattle; it has a
significant detrimental economic and animal welfare impact on cattle rearing. Infection can …

Bovine mastitis caused by mycoplasmas, in particular Mycoplasma bovis, is a major problem
for milk production and animal welfare in large dairy herds in the USA and a serious, …

Mycoplasma bovis is a cell-wall-less bacterium and belongs to the class Mollicutes. It is the
most important etiological agent of bovine mycoplasmoses in North America and Europe, …

The family of variable surface lipoproteins (Vsps) of the bovine pathogen Mycoplasma bovis
includes some of the most immunogenic antigens of this microorganism. Vsps were shown …

Major lipoprotein antigens, known as variable membrane surface lipoproteins (Vsps), on the
surface of the bovine pathogenMycoplasma bovis were shown to spontaneously undergo …

A putative cytadhesin-related protein (PvpA) undergoing variation in its expression was
identified in the avian pathogen Mycoplasma gallisepticum. The pvpA gene was cloned, …

Mycoplasma bovis, an important pathogen of cattle, was recently shown to possess a family
of phase- and size-variable membrane surface lipoprotein antigens (Vsps). These proteins …

The molecular mechanisms of resistance to fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, an aminocyclitol,
macrolides, a lincosamide, a phenicol, and pleuromutilins were investigated in …

Monitoring of susceptibility to antibiotics in field isolates of pathogenic avian mycoplasmas
is important for appropriate choice of treatment. Our study compared in vitro susceptibility to …

The macrolide class of antibiotics, including tylosin and tilmicosin, is widely used in the veterinary
field for prophylaxis and treatment of mycoplasmosis. In vitro susceptibility testing of 50 …
