Query: NC_013948:34616 Mycoplasma agalactiae chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Mycoplasma agalactiae; Mycoplasma; Mycoplasmataceae; Mycoplasmatales; Tenericutes; Bacteria

General Information: Mycoplasma agalactiae causes mastitis (infection of the mammary glands), arthritis, and pneumonia in sheep and goats. Asymptomatic animals can carry and spread the disease, making detection and erradication difficult. This disease is widespread in the Mediterranean and is of considerable economic importance, causing decreased yields of milk, and mortality or slowed growth of kids and lambs.

Subject: NC_015725:30742 Mycoplasma bovis Hubei-1 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Mycoplasma bovis; Mycoplasma; Mycoplasmataceae; Mycoplasmatales; Tenericutes; Bacteria

General Information: This bacterium causes a contagious disease of cattle causing respiratory disease, mastitis, and arthritis. It is found worldwide and is inherently resistant to certain groups of antibiotics because it does not possess a cell wall. More recently, this species has become resistant to tetracycline, tilmicosin and spectinomycin which have been traditionally used in its control.
