Moraxella bovis (Hauduroy et al. 1937) Murray 1948 (Approved Lists 1980) |
Moraxella bovis is a Gram-negative, aerobic, oxidase-positive rod-shaped bacterium. It is the cause of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis, a contagious ocular disease of cattle, referred to colloquially as pinkeye or New Forest eye. M. bovis was first associated with pinkeye in cattle 1915 in Bengal, India
The restriction enzyme MboI, widely used in biotechnology, is isolated from this species.
