Genetic Characterization of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis Isolates in Egypt

Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a small Gram-positive bacillus containing mycolic acid in the structure of the cell wall. The bacterium is responsible for Caseous Lymphadenitis (CLA) in small ruminants (sheep and goats). The bacteria are also responsible for Ulcerative Lymphangitis in equines....
