A longitudinal study of Staphylococcus hyicus colonization of vagina of gilts and transmission to piglets.
TL;DR: Staphylococcus hyicus strains isolated from the skin of piglets within 24 h after birth were identical to strains isolated 3 weeks after birth from the same litter, indicating that the vaginal strains became part of a stable skin flora.

Experimental Models of Streptococcal Arthritis: Pathogenetic Role of Streptococcal Products and Prostaglandins and Their Modification by Anti-Inflammatory Agents
I. Ginsburg,U. Zor,Y. Floman +2 more
TL;DR: Although a mass of evidence exists which supports the etiologic relationship between group A streptococcal infections and the pathogenesis of human disease, knowledge of the mechanisms involved in the initiation of the tissue lesions characteristic of the sequelae of strePTococcal infection in man is far from complete.

TL;DR: The efficient, LPS-independent adherence of A. pleuropneumoniae to LEC cells indicates that A. Pleurop pneumoniae may carry different, cell type-specific adhesins and that primary cultures of lower respiratory epithelium are valuable infection models in studying A.pleurop pneumoniae pathogenesis.

Mineral composition of urinary calculi from potbellied pigs with urolithiasis: 50 cases (1982-2012)
Munashe Chigerwe,Ryoji Shiraki,Erik C. Olstad,John A. Angelos,Annette L. Ruby,Joellen L Westropp +5 more
TL;DR: In contrast to results from studies in commercial pigs, the most common composition of urinary calculi identified in purebred and crossbred potbellied pigs was amorphous magnesium calcium phosphate, suggesting potential predisposing factors for urolithiasis in pot Bellied pigs may be similar to those for urologyiasis inCommercial pigs.

Laetitia Bonifait,Steve J. Charette,Geneviève Filion,Marcelo Gottschalk,Marcelo Gottschalk,Daniel Grenier,Daniel Grenier +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum can be a relevant alternative system to study the virulence of S. suis.
