Molecules contributing to microbial cytoadhesion are important virulence factors. In <i>Mycoplasma bovis</i>, a minimal bacterium but an important cattle pathogen, binding to host cells is emerging as a complex process involving a broad range of surface-exposed structures. Here, a new cytoadhesin of <i>M. bovis</i> was identified by producing a collection of individual knock-out mutants and evaluating their binding to embryonic bovine lung cells. The cytoadhesive-properties of this surface-expos ...[more]
