Omics-based construction of regulatory variants can be applied to help decipher pig liver-related traits

Communications Biology
Genetic variants can influence complex traits by altering gene expression through changes to regulatory elements. However, the genetic variants that affect the activity of regulatory elements in pigs are largely unknown, and the extent to which these ...

Recruitment of Factor H to the Streptococcus suis Cell Surface is Multifactorial

Pathogens, 2016
Streptococcus suis is an important bacterial swine pathogen and a zoonotic agent. Recently, two surface proteins of S. suis, Fhb and Fhbp, have been described for their capacity to bind factor H—a soluble complement regulatory protein that protects host ...

Metagenomics Analysis of the Impact of Protein-Degrading Functional Microbial Agents on Composting of Chicken Manure from Cereal Hulls

Agronomy
In this study, four highly efficient protein-degrading bacteria (Siccibactercolletis, Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus sp. (in: Firmicutes)) were screened from soil and fermentation beds and prepared into a mixed microbial agent in a

Laminin-binding protein of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 influences zinc acquisition and cytokine responses

Veterinary Research, 2023
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is an important bacterial pathogen of swine, responsible for substantial economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. The knowledge on the pathogenesis of the infection caused by S. suis is still poorly known.

Immune response induced by a Streptococcus suis multi-serotype autogenous vaccine used in sows to protect post-weaned piglets

Veterinary Research
Streptococcus suis is a bacterial pathogen that causes important economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. Since there are no current commercial vaccines, the use of autogenous vaccines applied to gilts/sows to enhance transfer of passive immunity

Presence of antimicrobial resistance genes in biofilms from swine drinking water pipes before and after treatment with peracetic acid

Frontiers in Microbiology
Biofilms can be problematic to swine drinking water systems as they can harbor pathogens, decrease water quality, and may contribute to antimicrobial treatment failure. Water-administered antimicrobials are used for disease treatment in swine populations,

Recognition of Lipoproteins by Toll-like Receptor 2 and DNA by the AIM2 Inflammasome Is Responsible for Production of Interleukin-1β by Virulent Suilysin-Negative Streptococcus suis Serotype 2

Pathogens, 2020
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is an important porcine bacterial pathogen and zoonotic agent causing sudden death, septic shock and meningitis. These pathologies are the consequence of an exacerbated inflammatory response composed of various mediators ...

The contribution of integrated and non-integrated pig farms to epidemiological dynamics of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in Italy

Scientific Reports
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a global challenge for swine production. Due to its high variability and limited cross-protection, immune-based control measures are only partially effective, emphasizing the critical role of ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain ST398 is present in midwestern U.S. swine and swine workers.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundRecent research has demonstrated that many swine and swine farmers in the Netherlands and Canada are colonized with MRSA. However, no studies to date have investigated carriage of MRSA among swine and swine farmers in the United States (U.S ...

Swine influenza A virus infection sets the local immunological landscape in subsequent infection with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus

Veterinary Research
Farmed pigs are frequently exposed to respiratory infections, with swine influenza A virus (swIAV) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) being key drivers.
