A non-sense mutation in the putative anti-mutator gene ada/alkA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis isolates suggests convergent evolution [PDF]
Background: Previous studies have suggested that variations in DNA repair genes of W-Beijing strains may have led to transient mutator phenotypes which in turn may have contributed to host adaptation of this strain family. Single nucleotide polymorphism (

Physiological Characteristics of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis-M. bovis Group of Organisms with Particular Reference to Heterogeneity within M. bovis [PDF]
By examining the abilities of mycobacterial strains to remove amino acids from solution, differences were found between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other closely related taxa. Heterogeneity was observed in most taxa. Strains of M. bovis were examined in greater detail.

Evolution of cell types and T-cell subsets in the spleens of Mycobacterium bovis BCG-resistant and M. bovis BCG-susceptible strains of mice after infection with M. bovis BCG [PDF]
In mice, the early host response to intravenous infection with small doses of dispersed Mycobacterium bovis BCG is controlled by the Bcg gene. After infection with a low dose of M. bovis BCG, Lyt-1+ cells were generated in the spleens of BCG-susceptible mice (Bcgs) in parallel with an increase in the proportion of phagocytic cells.

Interaction between Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis with the enteric glia and microglial cells [PDF]
Background We investigated the interaction of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis, M. bovis and M. tuberculosis and different glial cells (enteric glial and microglial cells) in order to evaluate the infecting ability of these microorganisms ...

The complete genome sequence of Mycoplasma bovis strain Hubei-1. [PDF]
Infection by Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) can induce diseases, such as pneumonia and otitis media in young calves and mastitis and arthritis in older animals. Here, we report the finished and annotated genome sequence of M.
