Diversifying and stabilizing selection of sialidase and N-acetylneuraminate catabolism in Mycoplasma synoviae.
Sialidase activity varies widely among strains and tends to correlate with strain virulence in the avian pathogen Mycoplasma synoviae. To characterize the forms of selection acting on enzymes required for sialic acid scavenging and catabolism, the ratios of nonsynonymous (K(a)) to synonymous (K(s)) mutation frequency were calculated for codons in the sialidase gene of 16 strains of M. synoviae ...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of various antibiotics against Mycoplasma synoviae.
Minimum lethal concentrations (MLC) and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined in vitro for 8 antibiotics against 9 isolates of Mycoplasma synoviae. Of the antibiotics tested, tylosin had the highest activity, followed closely by chlortetracycline, lincomycin, oxytetracycline, spectinomycin, and tetracycline. Neomycin and erythromycin were less effective. Two antibiotic combina...
متن کاملExtracellular Proteins of Mycoplasma synoviae
Mycoplasma synoviae is a Gram positive bacteria lacking of cell wall that affects chickens and turkeys causing infection in the upper respiratory tract and in some cases arthritis, with economical impact to broiler breeders. Treatment and prevention of avian synovitis depend on knowledge of the infectious process. Secreted or surface-exposed proteins play a critical role in disease because they...
متن کاملGenes involved in translation of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Mycoplasma synoviae
This is a report on the analysis of genes involved in translation of the complete genomes of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae strain J and 7448 and Mycoplasma synoviae. In both genomes 31 ORFs encoding large ribosomal subunit proteins and 19 ORFs encoding small ribosomal subunit proteins were found. Ten ribosomal protein gene clusters encoding 42 ribosomal proteins were found in M. synoviae, while 8 cl...
متن کاملDetection of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae among Commercial Poultry in Khouzestan Province, Iran
Mycoplasmas are important avian pathogens, which can cause both respiratory disease and synovitis in poultry that result in considerable economic losses to the poultry industry all over the world. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae infections among commercial poultry flocks in ...
