| streptococcal infection in young pigs. iv. an outbreak of streptococcal meningitis in weaned pigs. | twenty-eight pigs died in an outbreak of streptococcal meningitis in an east anglian herd. most were 10-14 weeks old. the outbreak lasted from january to april and was finally controlled by antibiotic therapy. a similar number of losses had occurred in the previous year though no diagnosis had then been made. the causal agent appeared to be a haemolytic streptococcus belonging to group d and provisionally designated streptococcus suis type 2. it is probably identical with de moor's group r strep ... | 1975 | 807620 |

| antimicrobial susceptibility of streptococcus suis isolated from swine in france and from humans in different countries between 1996 and 2000. | the susceptibility of 135 streptococcus suis strains isolated from pigs (n = 110) and from humans (n = 25) to 13 antimicrobial agents was studied by microdilution and disc diffusion methods using mueller-hinton agar ii (mh) supplemented with either defibrinated sheep blood (mhsb) or horse serum (mhhs). results were similar for both methods used except for penicillin g whose zone diameters were reduced with mhsb compared with mhhs. when mh was supplemented with sheep blood, 39% of s. suis strains ... | 2002 | 12161400 |
| patterns of antimicrobial resistance in streptococcus suis isolates from pigs with or without streptococcal disease in england between 2009 and 2014. | antimicrobial resistance in streptococcus suis, a global zoonotic pathogen of pigs, has been mostly studied only in diseased animals using surveys that have not evaluated changes over time. we compared patterns of resistance between s. suis isolates from clinical cases of disease (cc) and non-clinical case (ncc) pigs in england, collected over two discrete periods, 2009-2011 and 2013-2014. minimum inhibitory concentrations (mic) of 17 antimicrobials (nine classes) were determined on 405 s. suis ... | 2017 | 28757010 |
| descriptive clinical and epidemiological characteristics of influenza a h1n1 2009 virus infections in pigs in england. | infection of pigs with influenza a h1n1 2009 virus (a(h1n1)pdm09) was first detected in england in november 2009 following global spread of the virus in the human population. this paper describes clinical and epidemiological findings in the first english pig farms in which a(h1n1)pdm09 influenza virus was detected. these farms showed differences in disease presentation, spread and duration of infection. the factors likely to influence these features are described and relate to whether pigs were ... | 2012 | 22865115 |
