Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed on a total of 581 clinical Escherichia coli
isolates from diarrhea and edema disease in pigs, from acute mastitis in dairy cattle, from …

A disposable microarray was developed for detection of up to 90 antibiotic resistance genes
in gram-positive bacteria by hybridization. Each antibiotic resistance gene is represented by …

We report on the re-examination of nine Australian isolates of Actinobacilluspleuropneumoniae
that have been previously assigned to serovar 12. In the ring precipitation test, none of …

A fourth type of RTX determinant was identified in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and
was designated apxlVA. When expressed in Escherichia coli, recombinant ApxlVA showed a …

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) is the primary pathogen of enzootic
pneumonia, a chronic respiratory disease in pigs. Infections occur worldwide and cause major …

Staphylococcus aureus is a common pathogen which can colonise and infect not only man,
but also domestic animals. Especially, infection of cattle is of high economic relevance as S. …

The widespread species Escherichia coli includes a broad variety of different types, ranging
from highly pathogenic strains causing worldwide outbreaks of severe disease to avirulent …

A total of 272 staphylococcal isolates from cases of bovine mastitis (159 Staphylococcus
aureus) belonging to 12 different species were identified with ID32 STAPH galleries, and 51 of …

Sequences of the gene encoding the β-subunit of the RNA polymerase (rpoB) were used to
delineate the phylogeny of the family Pasteurellaceae. A total of 72 strains, including the …

Genetic relationships among bacterial strains belonging to the genus Aeromonas were inferred
from 16S rRNA, gyrB and rpoB gene sequences. Twenty-eight type or collection strains …
