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 ...
Characterization of Endoproteolytic Processing of Dynorphins by Proprotein Convertases using Mouse Spinal Cord S9 Fractions and Mass Spectrometry
(2016-06-01)
Dynorphins are important neuropeptides with a central role in nociception and pain alleviation. Many mechanisms regulate endogenous dynorphin concentrations, including proteolysis. Proprotein convertases (PCs) are widely ...
Transcriptional analysis of PRRSV-infected porcine dendritic cell response to Streptococcus suis infection reveals up-regulation of inflammatory-related genes expression
(2016-05-23)
The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most important
swine pathogens and often serves as an entry door for other viral or bacterial pathogens,
of which Streptococcus suis is one ...
FosteraTM PRRS modified live vaccine efficacy against a Canadian heterologous virulent field strain of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)
(2016-01-01)
Vaccination is a useful option to control infection with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), and several modified live-PRRSV vaccines have been developed. These vaccines have shown some efficacy ...
Herpesviruses including novel gammaherpesviruses are widespread among phocid seal species in Canada
(2016-01-01)
Little is known about herpesviruses in Canadian pinnipeds. We measured prevalence of antibodies to herpesviruses in the sera from Canadian phocid seals by an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Wild harbor seals ...
Impact of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae biofilm mode of growth on the lipid A structures and stimulation of immune cells
(2016-05-25)
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), the etiologic agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, forms biofilms on biotic and abiotic surfaces. APP biofilms confers resistance to antibiotics. To our knowledge, no studies have examined ...
Impact of mash feeding versus pellets on propionic/butyric acid levels and on total Escherichia coli load in the gastrointestinal tract of growing pigs
(2016-03)
Feed characteristics may influence
the bacterial community composition and metabolic
activities in the pig gastrointestinal tract, known to be
associated with positive effects on the gut. Use of mash
feed is associated ...
Resistance to colistin : what is the fate for this antibiotic in pig production?
(2016-08)
Colistin, a cationic polypeptide antibiotic, has reappeared in human medicine as a last-line treatment option for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB). Colistin is widely used in veterinary medicine for the ...
