dc.description.abstractAn investigation was carried out in an organized dairy farm of Tamil Nadu State, India where cattle were reported to have eye infection. Preliminary clinical intervention revealed that the animals had infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK). Isolation and identification of pathogen from eye swab revealed the presence of Moraxella spp. On further molecular characterization by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) suggested that the isolate as Moraxella bovoculi. PCR followed by sequencing was carried and the results showed that the isolate was M. bovoculi and the sequencewas submitted in theGenBank with the sequence id. KX121047. Animals were treated with antibiotics as per the results from antibiotic sensitivity test and treatment yielded good results as the animals responded to treatment. This report is the first of its kind fromIndia as therewas no previous report regarding M. bovoculi from the country. Further insights into the bacterial genome can aid in identification of the genes or regions involved in pathogenesis of IBK and also to carve out the prevention and control strategies of IBK.en_US
