Mycobacterium xenopi systemic infection in a domestic fieryshouldered conure bird (Pyrrhura egregia)
(Microbiology Society, 2018-07)Introduction. Mycobacterium xenopi is a rare opportunistic pathogen mainly causing infections in immunocompromised human patients or those with underlying chronic structural lung disease. Cases of disease in veterinary medicine remain scarce. Few ... -
Exposure of feral swine (Sus scrofa) in the United States to selected pathogens
(2015-01)Les porcs sauvages (Sus scrofa) sont largement distribués aux États-Unis. En 2011 et 2012, aux États-Unis des échantillons de sérum et d’amygdales furent obtenus de 162 et 37 porcs sauvages, respectivement, afin d’évaluer l’exposition à d’importants ... -
Unusual central nervous system lesions in slaughter-weight pigs with porcine circovirus type 2 systemic infection
(2011-04)Lésions inhabituelles au système nerveux central chez des porcs au poids d’abattage atteints d’une infection systémique par le circovirus porcin type 2. Une infection systémique par le circovirus porcin type 2 fut diagnostiquée chez 2 porcs au poids ... -
Impact of Nutrient Restriction on the Structure of Listeria monocytogenes Biofilm Grown in a Microfluidic System
(2017-05-17)Biofilm formation by the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is a major concern in food industries. The aim of this work was to elucidate the effect of nutrient limitation on both biofilm architecture and on the viability of the bacteria in ... -
Genetic diversity of group A rotavirus in swine in Canada
(2014-01-09)Group A rotaviruses (RVA) in pigs have been poorly investigated in Canada. In a continued effort to fill this gap, ten finisher swine farms in Quebec, Canada, were sampled over a nine-month period. The presence of RVA was detected in healthy pigs on ... -
The fecal presence of enterotoxin and F4 genes as an indicator of efficacy of treatment with colistin sulfate in pigs
(2017)Background : Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains producing multiple enterotoxins are important causes of post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in pigs. The aim of the present study was to investigate the fecal presence of ETEC enterotoxin as well ... -
Post weaning diarrhea in pigs: risk factors and non‑colistin‑based control strategies
(2017)Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) is one of the most serious threats for the swine industry worldwide. It is commonly associated with the proliferation of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in the pig intestine. Colistin, a cationic antibiotic, is widely used ... -
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase, carbapenemase, and the mcr-1 gene: Is there a historical link?
(2017-03-30)The plasmid mediated mcr-1 gene encoding for Enterobacteriaceae colistin resistance has been recently identified across five continents. The objective of the present study was to trace historical events concerning the discovery and emergence of the ... -
Dynamics of viral distribution in a defined swine production network using enteric viruses as molecular markers
(2017-02)Modern swine production systems represent complex and dynamic networks involving numerous stakeholders. For instance, livestock transporters carry live animals between fattening sites, abattoirs, and other premises on a daily basis. This interconnected ... -
Characterisation of InlA truncation in Listeria monocytogenes isolates from farm animals and human cases in the province of Quebec
(2017-06)The introduction of Listeria monocytogenes into the food production chain is a concern, with numerous grouped cases of listeriosis associated with milk-derived or pork-derived products have been documented. Management of this zoonotic pathogen considers ...
