Summary of thesis

The aim of the thesis is to discover the major virulence factors in Mycoplasma bovis and analyze the spread of highly pathogenic and low-pathogenic Mycoplasma bovis strains in Switzerland. This is accomplished by gene and comparative genome sequencing, transposon mutagenesis and cytotoxicity assays in Embryonic Calf Nasal Epithelial Cells (ECaNEp)
