Mycoplasma bovis is a significant pathogen of feedlot cattle, responsible for chronic pneumonia and polyarthritis syndrome (CPPS).M. bovis isolates (n = 129) were used to compare four methods of phylogenetic analysis and to determine if the isolates’ genotypes were associated with phenotypes. Metadata included the health status of the animal from which an isolate was derived (healthy, diseased, or dead), anatomical location (nasopharynx, lung, or joint), feedlot, and production year (2006 to 2018).
