Critical role of dispensable genes in Mycoplasma agalactiae interaction with mammalian cells.
Mycoplasmas are minimal bacteria whose genomes barely exceed the smallest amount of information required to sustain autonomous life. Despite this apparent simplicity, several mycoplasmas are successful pathogens of humans and animals, in which they establish intimate interactions with epithelial cells at mucosal surfaces. To identify biological functions mediating mycoplasma interactions with m...
متن کاملDetection of Mycoplasma agalactiae in Small Ruminants of Southeast Iran
Agalactia is an infectious and contagious disease of small ruminants caused by Mycoplasma agalactiae (M. agalactiae). Although different microorganism strains contribute to this disease, M. agalactiae is known as the most prominent causative agent. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the rate of M. agalactiae involvement in contagious agalactia in the southeast region of Iran. Sampling ...
متن کاملCorrection: Experimental Infections with Mycoplasma agalactiae Identify Key Factors Involved in Host-Colonization
Mechanisms underlying pathogenic processes in mycoplasma infections are poorly understood, mainly because of limited sequence similarities with classical, bacterial virulence factors. Recently, large-scale transposon mutagenesis in the ruminant pathogen Mycoplasma agalactiae identified the NIF locus, including nifS and nifU, as essential for mycoplasma growth in cell culture, while dispensable ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Mycoplasma agalactiae in sheep in Kurdistan province by PCR
Contagious agalactia (CA) is a serious disease syndrome of sheep and goats that is characterized by mastitis, arthritis, keratoconjunctivitis and, occasionally, abortion. Mycoplasma (M.) agalactiae is the main cause of the disease in sheep and goats. The aim of the present study was to detect M. agalactiae in conjunctival, synovial fluid, nasal, ear and milk samples in sheep herds with or witho...
متن کاملIsolation and identification of Mycoplasma agalactiae by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from affected sheep to Contagious agalactia of Khuzestan province, Iran
Mycoplasma agalactiae (M. agalactiae) is one of the main causes of contagious agalactia, an infectious syndrome of sheep and goats in Khuzestan province –southwest of Iran that is characterized by mastitis and subsequent failure of milk production, arthritis, abortion and keratoconjunctivitis. This study was carried out to isolation and identification of M. agalactiae with culture and polymeras...
