Biochemical and molecular genetic studies were performed for five isolates of unknown Gram-positive, catalase-negative, cocci-shaped micro-organisms obtained from clinical samples from pigs. The micro-organisms were tentatively identified as Aerococcus species on the basis of the results from cellular morphological and biochemical tests. 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies confirmed the provisional identification of the isolates as members of the genus Aerococcus, but the micro-organism did not correspond to any recognized species of this genus. The nearest phylogenetic relatives of these unknown cocci isolated from pigs were Aerococcus viridans (95.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Aerococcus urinaeequi (95.8 %). The unknown bacterium, however, was distinguishable from these two species and from other animal aerococci by using biochemical tests. On the basis of both phenotypic and phylogenetic findings, the isolates represent a novel species of the genus Aerococcus, for which the name Aerococcus suis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 1821/02(T) (=CECT 7139(T)=CCUG 52530(T)).

With the growing demand for sheep, the sheep farming industry has developed rapidly. However, lamb diarrhea, a disease with high mortality rates, significantly hampers the industry's growth. Traditional antibiotic treatments often disrupt the Intestinal microbiota, induce antibiotic resistance, and cause adverse side effects, highlighting the urgent need to develop alternative therapies.

Introduction: Successful retrieval of from porcine clinical specimens has been rarely described, and data has only been obtained from a few swine-producing countries. Therefore, the aim of this study was the isolation of recovered from a specimen originating from a commercial pig farm located in Poland.
Material And Methods: Seven dead 12-week-old pigs weighing 24-26 kg with joint swelling of the hind legs were selected on a modern farrow-to-nursery farm in Poland in October 2023.

Article Synopsis
- - Two new strains of bacteria, YH-aer221 and YH-aer222, were discovered in pig feces and are similar to the known strain JCM 18035 with over 96% genetic similarity.
- - Various genetic analyses, including average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization, confirmed their distinct status with low similarity to other bacteria, indicating they belong to a new category.
- - The bacteria possess unique features like a specific fatty acid profile and shared metabolic pathways, and both isolates have the same CRISPR array, leading to the proposal of a new species name.

() is a swine pathogen that can cause sepsis, meningitis, endocarditis, and other infectious diseases; it is also a zoonotic pathogen that has caused a global surge in fatal human infections. The widespread prevalence of multidrug-resistant strains and the decline in novel antibiotic candidates have necessitated the development of alternative antimicrobial agents. In this study, AVPL, the () phage lysin, was found to exhibit efficient bactericidal activity and broad lytic activity against multiple serotypes of .

Tetracyclines are the broad-spectrum agents used in veterinary medicine and food animal production. Known mechanisms of tetracycline resistance include ribosome protection, active efflux and enzymatic inactivation. However, the presence of two different tet genes conferring different resistance mechanisms on the same plasmid has rarely been reported.
