Evaluation of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae diagnostic tests using samples derived from experimentally infected pigs.
TL;DR: This study offers a comprehensive evaluation of the diagnostic tools currently available for detection of A. pleuropneumoniae subclinical infection and identified two new serological tests that should be considered for further investigation.

RTX-toxins in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and their potential role in virulence
TL;DR: A. pleuropneumoniae is the first bacterium known to contain and express two different RTX-hemolysins, which it is assumed recognize different target cells and have different tasks in bacteria-host interactions during infection.
