How do turbinate atrophy and the effect on cilia caused by B. bronchiseptica affect the incidence of S. suis and porcine respiratory disease complex?

Modulation of the microbiota seems to influence the presence of S. Suis and the expression of its virulence factors.

In the end, depopulation was the option to reduce mortality and the excessive use of antibiotics in the nursery and subsequent phases.

Side effects of perinatal medications on the microbiota can be detrimental to animal health.

S. suis outbreaks are frequently associated with co-infections and stress factors identified as potential triggers, but the natural infection process is not fully understood, so, we wanted to know what the condition is for naturally affected pigs.

We present the results of a recent study assessing the frequency of disease associated with S. suis infections and the main costs associated with the disease in three of Europe's main pig-producing countries.

In spite of decades of research on S. suis vaccines, autogenous bacterins are almost the only preventive strategy available that swine producers have access to, but which are their weak spots?

The influenza virus promotes colonization by secondary bacterial agents in the lung, facilitating their passage into the bloodstream.

Nutritional programs that manipulate the microbiota and mucosa towards the correct balance should be incorporated for the S. suis control program.

What laboratory diagnostic methods can I use to diagnose Streptococcus suis? Which one should I choose according to the situation? How do I interpret the results?

This article describes the principal lesions that characterize the main bacterial pneumonias. Although most are opportunistic agents, there are two primary bacterial agents capable of causing lesions on their own.

Why is there no effective commercial vaccine against Streptococcus suis?

In this third article, we want to to talk about a common guest in the nurseries: Streptococcus suis, the causative agent of clinical pictures that can include meningitis, arthritis and sudden deaths.

At least 25% of the pigs from 2 to 3 weeks old were reported to be lame, some so severe that they lay in the arcs shaking and unable to stand.

An erythema multiforme (EM) was noticed in the majority (90%) of breeding stock, associated with respiratory problems and without mortality.

PRRSV favours the appearance of secondary infections like the one caused by S. suis  due to the impairment of the alveolar macrophages cleaning functions.
