The percentage of infections potentially caused by pigs is approximately 0.019% of human infections.

Since the different pig populations never came into contact, the researchers concluded that the environment must be playing a large role in the continuing survival of antibiotic-resistant C. coli.

Citrus by-products does not reduce the negative effect of Salmonella in weanling pigs.

The objectives of this study were to compare and characterize the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant Campylobacter in conventional and antimicrobial-free production systems on farms, at slaughter, and in the environment.

The dietary inclusion of Houttuynia cordata and Taraxacum officinale leads to an improvement of the growth performance, inmune defense and meat quality in finishing pigs.

The effects of some antibiotics on the intestinal microbiota does not explain a growth-promoting effect.

Oriental medicinal plants as positive alternative to antibiotics in fattening pigs.

The aim of this study was to contribute to better understanding of age-related changes in MRSA nasal colonization in pigs.

Medicated pigs show an increase in Proteobacteria (1–11%) compared with nonmedicated at the same time point. This shift was driven by an increase in Escherichia coli populations.

As an annual industry estimate for all phases, chlortetracycline had the highest estimated use. The second and third highest estimates were tylosin and oxytetracycline.

The results presented here predict that MRSA is present on a large number of pig farms in Croatia.

Plasmids, which in part carry additional resistance genes, seem to play an important role in the dissemination of the gene cfr among porcine staphylococci.

The susceptibility to an initial challenge and a re-challenge inoculation with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae was analysed in pigs that were treated with antimicrobials of different efficacies following the first exposure to A. pleuropneumoniae.

Fecal to oral transmission of PE is considered to be a major factor in the spread of a Lawsonia infection. A seeder pig model, designed to show the effect of introducing an infected animal into a population of susceptible contact animals, allows characterization of natural transmission of Lawsonia and determination of the effect of an antibiotic intervention.

The fermented garlic powder supplementation added at the level of 2 g/kg can improve growth performance, while improving meat marbling and firmness score.

Scientists in Sweden have discovered that the part of bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that frequently carries antibiotic resistance has the capacity to move between several types of bacteria and adapt to widely differing bacterial species.
