Genome sequence of duck pathogen Mycoplasma anatis strain 1340

J Bacteriol. 2011 Oct;193(20):5883-4. doi: 10.1128/JB.05891-11.

Abstract

Mycoplasma anatis, a member of the class Mollicutes, is the causative agent of a contagious infectious disease of domestic ducklings, wild birds, and eggs. Increasing reports show that coinfection of M. anatis with Escherichia coli results in substantial economic impacts on the duck farms in China. Here, we announce the first genome sequence of M. anatis.
