Complete Genome Sequence of Mycoplasma flocculare Strain Ms42 T (ATCC 27399 T )

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Mycoplasma flocculare is a commensal or low-virulence pathogen of swine. The complete 778,866-bp genome sequence of M. flocculare strain Ms42(T) has been determined, enabling further comparison to genomes of the closely related pathogen Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. The absence of the p97 and glpD genes may contribute to the attenuated virulence of M. flocculare.
