Do human mycoplasmas rely on iron?

/in /by

A review article published in the Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal describes the putative iron-enzymes, transporters, and metalloregulators of four relevant human mycoplasmas and questions the use of iron by these minimal organisms. Alex Perálvarez-Marín, et al., Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021. Metal utilization in genome-reduced bacteria: do human mycoplasmas rely on iron?? Abstract […]

Mycoplasma agalactiae: The Sole Cause of Classical Contagious Agalactia?

/in , , /by

A recent commentary by Migliore at al. (2021) recommends that contagious agalactia (CA) should only be diagnosed and confirmed when M. agalactiae is detected either by isolation or molecular methods. The other three mycoplasmas classically associated with CA (M. mycoides subsp. capri, M. capricolum subsp. capricolum and M. putrefaciens) should removed from the OIE Manual […]
