Vaccination Against Lawsonia intracellularis Decreases Shedding of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in Co-Infected Pigs and Alters the Gut Microbiome.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium continues to be a major cause of foodborne illness worldwide and pork can serve as a source of infection. Co-infection of S. enterica with Lawsonia intracellularis, a common intestinal pathogen of swine, has been found as risk factor for increased S.

Understanding Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis microaggregate mediated pathogenesis.

Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) is an opportunistic pathogen and causes nontuberculous infections in immune compromised individuals, an emerging problem that has been recognized worldwide. Understanding the pathogenesis of this organism is important as better treatment and prevention options are needed. Microaggregates form when two or more bacterial cells join at a surface.
