Mesomycoplasma ovipneumoniae from goats with respiratory infection: pathogenic characteristics, population structure, and genomic features.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is a critical pathogen that causes respiratory diseases that threaten Caprini health and cause economic damage. A genome-wide study of M. ovipneumoniae will help understand the pathogenic characteristics of this microorganism.

Results

Toxicological pathology and whole-genome sequencing of nine M. ovipneumoniae strains isolated from goats were performed using an epidemiological survey. These strains exhibited anterior ventral lung consolidation, typical of bronchopneumonia in goats. Average nucleotide identity and phylogenetic analysis based on whole-genome sequences showed that all M. ovipneumoniae strains clustered into two clades, largely in accordance with their geographical origins. The pan-genome of the 23 M. ovipneumoniae strains con
