Impact of deoxynivalenol (DON) contaminated feed on intestinal integrity and immune response in swine
(Elsevier, 2015-02-17)
This study was performed to characterize the influence of consuming DON naturally contaminated feeds on pig's intestinal immune defenses, antibody response and cellular immunity. Sixteen 4-week-old piglets were randomly ...
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) culture supernatant antiviral effect against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) occurs prior to the viral genome replication and transcription through actin depolymerization
(Microbiology Society, 2018-01-02)
PURPOSE:
Recently, the strong antiviral activity of an Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) culture supernatant against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) was discovered. Following this finding, ...
Impact of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae biofilm mode of growth on the lipid A structures and stimulation of immune cells
(SAGE, 2016-05-25)
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), the etiologic agent of porcine pleuropneumonia,
forms biofilms on both biotic and abiotic surfaces. APP biofilms confers resistance to antibiotics.
To our knowledge, no studies have ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Antinociceptive activity of vanilloids in caenorhabditis elegans is mediated by the desensitization of the TRPV channel OCR-2 and specific signal transduction pathways
(Springer, 2023-02-03)
Vanilloids, including capsaicin and eugenol, are ligands of transient receptor potential channel vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1). Prolonged treatment with vanilloids triggered the desensitization of TRPV1, leading to ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
