title = "The p40 * adhesin pseudogene of Mycoplasma bovis",
abstract = "An analogue of the adhesin gene p40 of Mycoplasma agalactiae was found in Mycoplasma bovis. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the p40 * gene in M. bovis revealed the presence of a large deletion involving a frameshift that causes premature truncation of the translated protein, indicating that p40 * exists as a pseudogene in M. bovis.",
