title: Mycobacterium uberis, the newly discovered causative agent of bovine nodular thelitis
organism: Mycobacterium uberis
description: Bovine nodular thelitis is a granulomatous dermatitis associated with infection with acid-fast bacteria. To identify the bacterium responsible for this infection, we deep sequenced the DNA extracted directly from the lesions of a diseased cow. Phylogenetic analysis of the whole-genome sequence revealed that the new mycobacterial pathogen is closely related to M. leprae and M. lepromatosis. We name this pathogen Mycobacterium uberis.
