Abstract excerpt
Mycoplasma agalactiae and Mycoplasma bovis are important pathogens producing similar pathologies in small ruminants and cattle, respectively. They share many phenotypic and genotypic traits and comparison of their 16S rDNA sequences lacks sufficient resolution for phylogenetic analysis. The aim of this study was to develop a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme to analyse the phylogenetic relationships...
