Molecular characterization of the uncultivatable hemotropic bacterium Mycoplasma haemofelis

Just a quick announcement of our new paper. A predominatly genetics study of the uncultivatable hemotropic bacterium Mycoplasma haemofelis with proteomics (the part which I contributed to) .

Mycoplasma haemofelis a pathogenic feline hemoplasma which is responsible for hemolytic anemia in cats.

Unfortunately it can't be cultured and as a result it is very difficult to study its pathogenicity. The aim of the work is essentially to understand the bacteria better by understanding it's genome and proteome.
