Article Synopsis
- - Proliferative enteropathy is a disease caused by a difficult-to-isolate bacterium affecting various animals, with its mechanisms of host cell proliferation still largely unclear.
- - This study used comparative genomics to identify 127 genes from other known pathogenic bacteria that could relate to the bacterial pathogenesis of enteropathy, finding 45 potentially relevant genes.
- - The identified genes suggest roles in processes like cell motility and DNA repair, hinting at their involvement in the bacterium's ability to cause disease, which can guide future research on its pathogenic mechanisms.
Although it is considered an economically relevant and prevalent disease, little information is available on the epidemiology and risk factors of porcine proliferative enteropathy (PPE) in commercial pigs, and no publication is available on subsistence pig farming. The objectives of this study were to estimate the seroprevalence of L. intracellularis and identify associated risk factors in backyard pigs in the 12 mesoregions of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
