Physical Map and Genome Sequencing Survey ofMycoplasma haemofelis(Haemobartonella felis) [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2003 ABSTRACTMycoplasma haemofelisis an uncultivable red-cell pathogen of cats. IsolatedM. haemofelisDNA was used to create a bacterial artificial chromosome library and physical map. Random sequencing of this material revealed 75 genes that had not been previously reported forM. haemofelisor any other hemotrophic mycoplasma.
