A sweeping view of avian mycoplasmas biology drawn from comparative genomic analyses
BMC GenomicsBackground Avian mycoplasmas are small bacteria associated with several pathogenic conditions in many wild and poultry bird species. Extensive genomic data are available for many avian mycoplasmas, yet no comparative studies focusing on this group of ...

Metal utilization in genome-reduced bacteria: Do human mycoplasmas rely on iron? [PDF]
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021 Mycoplasmas are parasitic bacteria with streamlined genomes and complex nutritional requirements. Although iron is vital for almost all organisms, its utilization by mycoplasmas is controversial. Despite its minimalist nature, mycoplasmas can survive and

MOLECULAR BACKGROUND OF FLUOROQUINOLONE RESISTANCE IN PATHOGENIC HUMAN MYCOPLASMAS
Инфекция и иммунитет, 2017 Human mycoplasma pathogens are resistant to many types of antibiotics because of the lack of a cell wall. Macrolides are most often used for the treatment of mycoplasmosis, but the spread of forms resistant to these antibiotics requires the use of ...

MYCOPLASMAS ISOLATED FROM RUMINANTS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA BETWEEN 1995 AND 2015
Veterinaria, 2016 This study provides an overview of mycoplasma species isolated from ruminants in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1995 and 2015. A total of 1442 samples from affected and asymptomatic cattle, sheep and goats were submitted for isolation of mycoplasmas ...

Taxonomy of the Feline Mycoplasmas Mycoplasma felifaucium, Mycoplasma feliminutum, Mycoplasma felis, Mycoplasma gateae, Mycoplasma leocaptivus, Mycoplasma leopharyngis, and Mycoplasma simbae by 16S rRNA Gene Sequence Comparisons [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1995 The nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene of eight mycoplasmas isolated from felids was determined and used for taxonomic comparisons. A signature nucleotide sequence motif and overall sequence similarity to other mollicutes positioned Mycoplasma felifaucium, Mycoplasma felis, Mycoplasma leocaptivus, Mycoplasma leopharyngis, and Mycoplasma simbae in

Minimalistic mycoplasmas harbor different functional toxin-antitoxin systems. [PDF]
, 2021 Mycoplasmas are minute bacteria controlled by very small genomes ranging from 0.6 to 1.4 Mbp. They encompass several important medical and veterinary pathogens that are often associated with a wide range of chronic diseases.

Phylogenetic Relationships of the Porcine Mycoplasmas Mycoplasma hyosynoviae and Mycoplasma hyopharyngis [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1996 The phylogenetic positions of the porcine mycoplasmas Mycoplasma hyosynoviae and Mycoplasma hyopharyngis were determined by using PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene sequences. M. hyosynoviae is a member of the Mycoplasma hominis group, while M. hyopharyngis belongs to the Mycoplasma fermentans group of mollicutes.

Sequences of the 16S rRNA genes and phylogeny of the goat mycoplasmas Mycoplasma adleri, Mycoplasma auris, Mycoplasma cottewii and Mycoplasma yeatsii [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1998 The nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA genes from the type strains of four goat mycoplasmas, Mycoplasma adleri, Mycoplasma auris, Mycoplasma cottewii and Mycoplasma yeatsii, were determined by direct solid-phase DNA sequencing. Polymorphisms were found in two of the 16S rRNA gene sequences, showing the existence of two different rRNA operons.
