Cloning and characterization of a Moraxella bovis cytotoxin gene

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2001
Abstract Objective—To identify the Moraxella bovis cytotoxin gene. Procedure—Hemolytic and nonhemolytic strains of M bovis were compared by use of western blotting to identify proteins unique to hemolytic strains. Oligonucleotide primers, designed on the basis of amino acid sequences of 2 tryptic peptides derived from 1 such protein

Outer membrane protein antigens of Moraxella bovis

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1986
SUMMARY Outer membranes were isolated from bovine isolates and type strains of Moraxella bovis, M phenylpyruvica, M lacunata, and M ovis by sodium N lauroyl sarcosinate extraction and differential centrifugation. Analysis of outer membranes from these organisms by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis revealed that all M bovis ...

Investigations on Transmissability of Moraxella bovis by the Face Fly

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1965
The appearance and prevalence of the face fly, Musca autumnalis DeGeer, is suspected as a contributing factor in the increase of infectious bovine keratitis (pinkeye) in cattle. Preliminary studies were initiated in Massachusetts to determine the potential role of the face fly in the transmission of this disease.

Chemical composition of lipopolysaccharide from Moraxella bovis

Veterinary Microbiology, 1989
Lipopolysaccharide from Moraxella bovis was isolated and its components characterized by paper and gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The endotoxin showed a small amount of protein and contained 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic acid glucose, mannose, glucosamine, heptose and phosphate. Six fatty acids (palmitic, palmitoleic, margaric, stearic, oleic

Genotypic, phenotypic, and biological characteristics of Moraxella bovis

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1984
SUMMARY Several isolates of Moraxella bovis obtained from cattle with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis killed monocytes and macrophages in vitro and carried 3 to 5 plasmids. Cloned and noncloned M bovis isolates readily induced the disease, killed the phagocytes in vitro, and carried 3 plasmids.

Antigenic characterization of Moraxella bovis, Moraxella bovoculi and Moraxella ovis strains with potential use in vaccines

Veterinary Microbiology, 2017
Moraxella bovis is historically known as the primary agent of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK). However, Moraxella bovoculi and Moraxella ovis are also reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of IBK, therefore, these three species should be included in the development of a new vaccine with a broad-spectrum protection against the disease

Moraxella bovis,Moraxella ovisandMoraxella bovoculi: biofilm formation and lysozyme activity

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2018
This study aimed to verify the formation of biofilms by Moraxella bovis, Moraxella ovis and Moraxella bovoculi isolates from ruminants. In addition, the lysozyme activity against the isolates of M. bovis, M. ovis and M. bovoculi in free form and in biofilms was determined.In this study, 54 isolates of Moraxella sp.

Adherence of Moraxella bovis to cell cultures of bovine origin

Research in Veterinary Science, 1985
The adherence of five strains of Moraxella bovis to cell cultures was investigated. M bovis adhered to cultures of bovine corneal epithelial and Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells but not to cell types of non-bovine origin. Both piliated and unpiliated strains adhered but piliated strains adhered to a greater extent than unpiliated strains.

Quantification of Moraxella bovis haemagglutinating adhesins with monoclonal antibodies

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 1991
Six monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Moraxella bovis GF 9 were used to quantify haemagglutinating adhesins of 16 strains of this organism. The amount of each MAb necessary to inhibit one haemagglutinating unit of each strain varied between 4 and 0.007 times that required by strain GF 9.

Plasmid content of piliated and nonpiliated forms of Moraxella bovis

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1990
SUMMARY Plasmid profiles were compared between nonpiliated and piliated forms of Moraxella bovis isolates. The piliated form of M bovis isolate IBH64 contained 1 fewer plasmid than did the nonpiliated form. Piliated and nonpiliated cells of IBH64 contained plasmids having molecular size of 45, 32.8, 4.9, and 4.6 kilobases (kb).
