MOLECULAR CLONING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A SURFACE-LOCALIZED ADHESION PROTEIN IN MYCOPLASMA BOVIS HUBEI-1 STRAIN.

Molecular cloning and characterization of a surface-localized adhesion protein in Mycoplasma bovis Hubei-1 strain.

Mycoplasma bovis (M.bovis) is an important pathogen that causes here various bovine diseases, such as mastitis in cows and pneumonia in calves.The surface proteins are generally thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of this organism.We screened the entire genome of M.bovis Hubei-1 and discovered a gene named vpmaX that encodes the 25 k

Progressive white matter microstructure damage in male chronic heroin dependent individuals: a DTI and TBSS study.

BACKGROUND: To investigate the WM microstructure deficits in heroin dependent individuals (HDIs) with different length of heroin dependence, and to investigate whether these WM deficits can be related to the duration of heroin use and to decision-making deficits in HDIs.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Thirty-six HDIs [including eighteen sHDIs (dura
