Development of a 3-transcript host expression assay to differentiate between viral and bacterial infections in pigs.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Indiscriminate use of antibiotics to treat infections that are of viral origin contributes to unnecessary use which potentially may induce resistance in commensal bacteria.

Comparison of four lung scoring systems for the assessment of the pathological outcomes derived from Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae experimental infections

BMC Veterinary Research, 2014
BackgroundIn this study, four lung lesion scoring methods (Slaughterhouse Pleurisy Evaluation System [SPES], Consolidation Lung Lesion Score [LLS], Image analyses [IA] and Ratio of lung weight/body weight [LW/BW]) were compared for the assessment of the ...

Resilience of swine nasal microbiota to influenza A virus challenge in a longitudinal study

Veterinary Research, 2023
Influenza A virus (IAV) is an important contributing pathogen of porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC) infections. Evidence in humans has shown that IAV can disturb the nasal microbiota and increase host susceptibility to bacterial secondary ...

Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic evaluation of marbofloxacin in the treatment of Haemophilus parasuis and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae infections in nursery and fattener pigs using Monte Carlo simulations.

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2014
This study evaluated the theoretical clinical outcome of three marbofloxacin posology regimens in two groups of pigs (weaners and fatteners) for the treatment of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) and Haemophilus parasuis (Hp) infection and the ...

Probiotic supplementation reduces inflammatory profiles but does not prevent oral immune perturbations during SIV infection

Scientific Reports, 2021
HIV/SIV infections lead to massive loss of mucosal CD4 + T cells and breakdown of the epithelial mucosa resulting in severe microbial dysbiosis and chronic immune activation that ultimately drive disease progression.

Profiling microRNAs in lung tissue from pigs infected with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-protein-coding genes that play a crucial regulatory role in mammalian development and disease. Whereas a large number of miRNAs have been annotated at the structural level during the latest years ...

Actinobacillus equuliSepticemia: an Unusual Zoonotic Infection [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1998
ABSTRACTWe describe the isolation ofActinobacillus equulifrom the blood of a 53-year-old butcher with septicemia. This species of the genusActinobacillusis primarily associated with animals and animal diseases, especially septicemia in foals. This is the first report of the isolation ofA. equulifrom a human with septicemia.
