Molecular mechanisms of pathogenicity of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides SC

The Veterinary Journal, 2007
Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides SC, the aetiological agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), is considered the most pathogenic of the Mycoplasma species. Its virulence is probably the result of a coordinated action of various components of an antigenically and functionally dynamic surface architecture.

Mycoplasma bovis shares insertion sequences with Mycoplasma agalactiae and Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides SC: Evolutionary and developmental aspects [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2005
Three new insertion elements, ISMbov1, ISMbov2 and ISMbov3, which are closely related to ISMag1 (Mycoplasma agalactiae), ISMmy1 and IS1634 (both Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides SC), respectively, have been discovered in Mycoplasma bovis, an important pathogen of cattle. Southern blotting showed that the genome of M.

Surface protein glycosylation conserved in the human pathogen Mycoplasma genitalium and retained in the synthetic organism JCVI-Syn3A. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Protein glycosylation has been reported in all forms of life. The genus Mycoplasma is composed of highly genome-streamlined bacterial symbionts, making them model organisms for investigating minimal genome concepts.

Study of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. Mycoides exopolysaccharides [PDF]

, 2013
Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (Mmm) is responsible for contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, a severe lung disease of cattle and buffaloes. Mmm belongs to the class Mollicutes, grouping wall-less bacteria that have evolved by major gene losses and are considered the smallest self-replicating organisms.
