【 摘 要 】

Infectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) is still the most important ocular disease of cattle in the MERCOSUL region. The etiologic agent of IBK, the bacterium Moraxella bovis, has genetic differences responsible for antigenic and antibiotic susceptibility variability that interfere in its control. In this review, molecular, antigenic and antimicrobial susceptibility studies of strains recovered during the last 20 years in our region are discussed and compared with results obtained abroad.
