Vectors For Transforming Mycoplasma Hyopneumoniae, Transformed M. Hyopneumoniae Strains, And Use Thereof

Patent No. EP2873733 (titled "Vectors For Transforming Mycoplasma Hyopneumoniae, Transformed M. Hyopneumoniae Strains, And Use Thereof") was filed by Hipra Scientific on Jul 9, 2013. The application was issued on Jan 18, 2023.

Patent Summary

Preparing mutant strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, the bacterium that causes porcine enzootic pneumonia, by introducing and expressing exogenous DNA sequences. The method involves transforming Mhyo using a carrier vector with an exogenous DNA sequence under control of a Mhyo promoter region. This allows stable incorporation and expression of exogenous DNA in Mhyo. The mutant strains can be used as live vaccines against porcine diseases by attenuating virulence through transposition or gene disruption.
