Genome-wide evidence for positive selection and recombination in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae [PDF]
Background Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is an economically important animal pathogen that causes contagious pleuropneumonia in pigs. Currently, the molecular evolutionary trajectories for this pathogenic bacterium remain to require a better ...

Development of a sybr green real-time pcr assay with melting curve analysis for simultaneous detection of actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and haemophilus parasuis [PDF]
In the present study, a duplex SYBR Green real-time PCR assay was developed in order to indentify Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Haemophilus parasuis infection in one reaction, through a melting curve analysis.

Associations between EP-like lesions and pleuritis and post trimming carcass weights of finishing pigs in England [PDF]
Herd health slaughter checks regularly identify enzootic pneumonia-like (EP-like) lesions and pleuritis. The aim of this paper is to determine the associations between these lesions and post-trimming carcass weight.

ICEApl1, an integrative conjugative element related to ICEHin1056, identified in the pig pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae [PDF]
ICEApl1 was identified in the whole genome sequence of MIDG2331, a tetracycline-resistant (MIC = 8 mg/L) serovar 8 clinical isolate of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia. PCR amplification of virB4, one of the

Pyridoxal phosphate synthases PdxS/PdxT are required for Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae viability, stress tolerance and virulence. [PDF]
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is an essential cofactor for numerous enzymes involved in a diversity of cellular processes in living organisms. Previous analysis of the Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae S-8 genome sequence revealed the presence of pdxS and ...
