Mycoplasma bovis is a type of bacteria that can cause various diseases in cattle, including pneumonia, mastitis, and arthritis. It is unique because it lacks a cell wall, making it resistant to certain antibiotics. This bacterium can spread through direct contact between animals or through contaminated equipment. Infections caused by Mycoplasma bovis can lead to significant economic losses in the dairy and beef industries due to decreased milk production and increased veterinary costs. Effective management practices, such as good hygiene and biosecurity measures, are essential to control its spread and impact on cattle health.
