Complete Sequence and Annotation of the Mycoplasma phocidae Strain 105T Genome.

ABSTRACT: The genome of Mycoplasma phocidae strain 105T was analyzed in order to improve our understanding of its role in epidemic marine mammal mortalities. It was found to encode a suite of immunosuppressors that may enable evasion of host defenses and modulate susceptibility to viral coinfections or their severity in seals.
