Mycoplasma bovis DNA Glycosylase MbovP486 Mediates Oxidative DNA Damage Repair to Enhance Bacterial Survival

), indicating impaired oxidative DNA repair. Although all three strains similarly induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in bovine macrophage (BoMac) cells, the T9.376 mutant exhibited compromised survival under oxidative stress conditions. In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of MbovP486 for M. bovis survival under DNA-damaging conditions during host colonization.
