Population Genomics of Mycobacterium leprae Reveals a New Genotype in Madagascar and the Comoros.

abstract：:Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important contagious mastitis pathogens in dairy cattle. Due to its zoonotic potential, control of S. aureus is not only of great economic importance in the dairy industry but also a significant public health concern. The aim of this study was to decipher the potential of bovin...
