Taylorella equigenitalis is the causative agent of sexually transmitted contagious equine metritis. Infections manifest as cervicitis, vaginitis and endometritis and cause temporary infertility and miscarriages of mares. While previous studies have analyzed this organism for various parameters, the evolutionary dynamics of this pathogen, including the emergence of antibiotic resistance, remains unresolved.

- - The rising antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus spp. highlights the need for effective in vivo models to evaluate new antimicrobial treatments.
- - A comprehensive porcine model was developed to simulate extensive skin and soft tissue damage, facilitating the testing of topical antimicrobial agents through a multi-stage protocol.
- - The model demonstrated persistent infection with Staphylococcus aureus throughout the study, confirming its effectiveness for testing short-acting topical antibiotics.
Article Synopsis
- Probiotics might help reduce diarrhea in piglets after they stop drinking milk on farms.
- Scientists found special helpful bacteria from wild boars that could be used as probiotics.
- These bacteria are safe and can fight off harmful germs, which makes them good for piglets after weaning.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of koi sleepy disease (KSD) or carp edema virus disease (CEVD) on common carp, highlighting its economic significance in aquaculture.
- Researchers analyzed mRNA expression and protein levels associated with antiviral immune responses in both healthy and diseased fish, finding significant differences based on the organ sampled.
- The findings reveal that immune response varied across organs, with certain proteins being more active in less affected areas while others were upregulated in severely impacted organs, offering insights into the fish's immune systems during infection.
The widespread use of antibiotics in the poultry industry as growth promoters has led to the emergence of bacterial resistance, which poses a significant health risk to humans and animals. Substances of natural origin, such as probiotic bacteria and humic substances, can be a promising solution. The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of the administration of a probiotic strain of Limosilactobacillus fermentum 2i3 and/or a new formula of humic substances specifically designed for detoxification on the production parameters, including gene expression of myogenic growth factors and selected parameters of the immune response.
