Risk factors associated with intramammary colonization with Mollicutes in dairy cattle from Southeast Brazil [PDF]
: Bacteria of Mollicutes Class are associated with intramammary infection and decrease in milk production. This study investigated the occurrence of Mollicutes and elucidated their risk factors in dairy herds from Southeast Brazil. For this, milk samples

The Motility of Mollicutes [PDF]
Recent experiments show that the conformation of filament proteins play a role in the motility and morphology of many different types of bacteria. Conformational changes in the protein subunits may produce forces to drive propulsion and cell division. Here we present a molecular mechanism by which these forces can drive cell motion.

Purine and pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism in Mollicutes [PDF]
Several mollicute genome projects are underway, offering unique opportunities to study genes and metabolic pathways on a genome-wide scale. Here, we have analyzed the conservation and diversity of purine and pyrimidine metabolism in mycoplasmas.

Comparison of different NAT assays for the detection of microorganisms belonging to the class Mollicutes [PDF]
Background Mollicutes detection can be cumbersome due to their slow growth in vitro. For this reason, the use of DNA based on generic molecular tests represents an alternative for rapid, sensitive and specific detection of these microorganism.

Phytoplasma: Phytopathogenic Mollicutes [PDF]
▪ Abstract During the past decade, research has yielded new knowledge about the plant and insect host ranges, geographical distribution, and phylogenetic relationships of phytoplasmas, and a taxonomic system has emerged in which distinct phytoplasmas are named as separate “Candidatus phytoplasma species.” In large part, this progress has resulted ...

Comparative genomics and phylogenomics of hemotrophic mycoplasmas. [PDF]
Hemotrophic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) are a group of animal pathogens of the Mollicutes class. Recently, the genomes of 8 hemoplasmas have been completely sequenced.
