Mycoplasmas are successful pathogens that cause debilitating diseases in humans and
various animal hosts. Despite the exceptionally streamlined genomes, mycoplasmas have …

Abstract The Mycoplasma Immunoglobulin Binding/Protease (MIB-MIP) system is a
candidate 'virulence factor present in multiple pathogenic species of the Mollicutes …

Mesoplasma florum is an emerging model organism for systems and synthetic biology due
to its small genome (∼ 800 kb) and fast growth rate. While M. florum was isolated and first …

The fastidious porcine respiratory pathogen Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae has proven
difficult to culture since it was first isolated in 1965. A reliable solid medium has been …

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, the agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia (EP), is able to
persist in the lung tissue and evade destruction by the host for several weeks. To understand …

The near-minimal bacterium Mesoplasma florum constitutes an attractive model for systems
biology and for the development of a simplified cell chassis in synthetic biology. However …

The utilization of available substrates, the metabolic potential and the growth rates of
bacteria can play significant roles in their pathogenicity. This study concentrates on …

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the causative agent of enzootic pneumonia, a world-wide
problem in the pig industry. This disease is characterized by a dry, non-productive cough …

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the cause of enzootic pneumonia in pigs, a chronic
respiratory disease associated with significant economic losses to swine producers …

Mycoplasma hyorhinis is an opportunistic pathogen of pigs. Recently, it has been shown to
transform cell cultures, increasing the attention of the researchers. Studies on the …
