Problems with serological cross-reactivity have led to development of a number of PCRs (individual and multiplex) for molecular typing of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia. Most of these assays were devel...

Proposal of serovars 17 and 18 of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae based on serological and genotypic analysis (2018)
Journal Article
Bossé, J. T., Li, Y., Sárközi, R., Fodor, L., Lacouture, S., Gottschalk, M., …Langford, P. R. (2018). Proposal of serovars 17 and 18 of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae based on serological and genotypic analysis. Veterinary Microbiology, 217, 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2018.02.019

The aim of this study was to investigate isolates of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae previously designated serologically either as NT or as ‘K2:07’, which did not produce serovar-specific amplicons in PCR assays. We used whole genome sequencing to... Read More about Proposal of serovars 17 and 18 of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae based on serological and genotypic analysis.

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (A. pleuropneumoniae) is a Gram-negative bacterium that represents the main cause of porcine pleuropneumonia in pigs, causing significant economic losses to the livestock industry worldwide. A. pleuropneumoniae, as the... Read More about In vivo testing of novel vaccine prototypes against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae.

Streptococcus suis is a bacterium that is commonly carried in the respiratory tract and that is also one of the most important invasive pathogens of swine, commonly causing meningitis, arthritis, and septicemia. Due to the existence of many serotypes...
