Removal of a subset of non-essential genes fully attenuates a highly virulent <i>Mycoplasma</i> strain

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Mycoplasmas are the smallest free-living organisms and cause a number of economically important diseases affecting humans, animals, insects and plants. Here, we demonstrate that highly virulent Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies capri ( Mmc ) can be fully attenuated via targeted deletion of non-essential genes encoding, among others, potential virulence traits. Five genomic regions, representing...
