Mycoplasmas are wall-less parasitic bacteria possessing extremely small genomes. Despite this, growth rates differ among mycoplasma species with doubling times ranging from only 0.5h to 16h. Here, we analyzed the whole proteomes of M. hyopneumoniae and M. feriruminatoris and performed a comparative ...
The Mycoplasma Immunoglobulin Binding/Protease (MIB-MIP) system is a candidate virulence factor present in multiple pathogenic species of the Mollicutes, including the fast-growing species Mycoplasma feriruminatoris. The MIB-MIP system cleaves the heavy chain of host immunoglobulins, hence affecting...
