Animals | Free Full-Text | Comparison of Multiple-Locus Variable-Number Tandem Repeat Analysis Profiles of Enteropathogenic Yersinia spp. Obtained from Humans, Domestic Pigs, Wild Boars, Rodents, Pork and Dog Food
1. Introduction The enteropathogenic Yersinia genus is present in both domestic pigs and wild boar [1,2,3], and pork is suggested as the most probable source of infection in humans [4,5]. Common symptoms of acute yersiniosis include abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea, and chronic sequelae such as reactive arthritis and erythema nodosum may occur.
Isolates from Colonic Spirochetosis in Humans Show High Genomic Divergence and Potential Pathogenic Features but Are Not Detected Using Standard Primers for the Human Microbiota
Research Article Kaisa Thorell, Linn Inganäs, Annette Backhans, Lars Agréus, Åke Öst, Marjorie M. Walker, Nicholas J. Talley, Lars Kjellström, Anna Andreasson, Lars Engstrand Thomas J. Silhavy, Editor DOI: 10.1128/JB.00272-19 ABSTRACT Colonic spirochetosis, diagnosed based on the striking appearance in histological sections, still has an obscure clinical relevance, and only a few bacterial isolates from this condition have been characterized to date.

Profile of pig farms combining high performance and low antimicrobial usage within four European countries
Pig farmers are strongly encouraged to reduce their antimicrobial usage because of the rising threat from antimicrobial resistance. However, such efforts should not compromise the herd health status and performance. This study aimed to describe the profile of so-called ‘top-farms’ that managed to combine both high technical performance and low antimicrobial usage. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 227 farrow-to-finish farms in Belgium, France, Germany and Sweden.
