Journal Article
Bossé, J. T., Li, Y., Sárközi, R., Gottschalk, M., Angen, Ø., Nedbalcova, K., Rycroft, A. N., Fodor, L., & Langford, P. R. (2017). A Unique Capsule Locus in the Newly Designated Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Serovar 16 and Development of a Diagnostic PCR Assay. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 55(3), 902-907. https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.02166-16

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae causes pleuropneumonia, an economically significant lung disease of pigs. Recently, isolates of A. pleuropneumoniae that were serologically distinct from the previously characterized 15 serovars were described, and a p...
