Antimicrobial activity observed among cultured marine epiphytic bacteria reflects their potential as a source of new drugs
TL;DR: The high abundance of cultured isolates that produce antimicrobials suggest that culturing remains a powerful resource for exploring novel bioactives of bacterial origin.

TL;DR: Control of influenza virus infection in poultry and swine is critical to the reduction of potential cross-species adaptation and spread of influenza viruses, which will minimize the risk of animals being the source of the next pandemic.

Salmonella in the pork production chain and its impact on human health in the European Union.
TL;DR: Salmonella infection in pigs may cause fever, diarrhoea, prostration and mortality, however, most infected pigs remain healthy carriers, and those infected at the end of the fattening period could pose a threat to human health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular entry of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus.
TL;DR: The current data on PEDV entry into its host cell is reviewed, including therein the new observations regarding the functional role of the sialic acid binding activity of the S protein in virus infection, and the recent progress on the proteolytic activation of P EDV S proteins is summarized.
