IBK associated Moraxella bovis and Moraxella bovoculi Uruguayan strains

Due to the health problems caused by IBK, it is necessary to develop effective vaccines to prevent the disease. The objective of this study was to analyze for the first time two genomes of Uruguayan isolates of M. bovis and M. bovoculi obtained from the eyes of calves with clinical IBK. Both genomes of M. bovis and M. bovoculi Uruguayan strains are very similar to those that have been already published using strains from distant geographic origins. This could be important for the design of vaccines to be used worldwide.
