Mycoplasma bovis isolates from Chinese dairy farms: Analysis of genomic features, antimicrobial resistance, and virulence-associated structural differences

Key Points

• Mycoplasma bovis isolates exhibit significant antimicrobial resistance trends, impacting treatment options.
• Genomic features reveal structural differences linked to virulence in isolates from multiple dairy farms in China.
• Assessment of genomic variations provides insights into pathogenicity and resistance mechanisms in these bacteria.
• Highlighting the need for improved management strategies in dairy farms to combat Mycoplasma bovis infections.
