An emerging role for cyclic dinucleotide phosphodiesterase and nanoRNase activities in Mycoplasma bovis: Securing survival in cell culture.

Mycoplasmas are host-restricted prokaryotes with a nearly minimal genome. To overcome their metabolic limitations, these wall-less bacteria establish intimate interactions with epithelial cells at mucosal surfaces. The alarming rate of antimicrobial resistance among pathogenic species is of particul...
