Abstract excerpt
Mycoplasma agassizii (Mycoplasmopsis agassizii) is a major pathogen responsible for upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) in tortoises, contributing to worldwide population declines. Despite its significance, tools for strain-level identification and epidemiological tracking remain limited. This study proposes a Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) scheme based on eight housekeeping genes (uvrB, tpiA, gyrB, efTu,...
