Article Synopsis
- The rise in livestock production is expected to lead to the emergence of new pathogens that can affect both animal and human health.
- Researchers studied the respiratory microbiota of pigs, focusing on a specific pathogen that is prevalent in pig farming and can also infect humans.
- The findings indicate that certain pathogenic strains developed during the expansion of pig farming in the 19th and 20th centuries, spreading globally through the trade of live pigs and adapting over time to become more pathogenic.
species are understudied members of the phylum Actinobacteria and prevalent colonizers of the human and animal upper respiratory tract and oral cavity. The oral cavity, including the palatine tonsils, is colonized by a complex microbial community, which compete for resources, actively suppress competitors and influence host physiology. We analysed genomic data from 43 new porcine isolates, together with 112 publicly available draft genome sequences of isolates from humans, animals and the environment.
