Haemophilus parasuis is a colonizer of the upper respiratory tract and the causative agent of Glässer's disease in swine. This study focused on the nasal carriage of H. parasuis after treatment with marbofloxacin. Three marbofloxacin treatments (three doses of 2mg/kg body weight [bw] every 24h, two doses of 4 mg/kg bw every 48 h and 8 mg/kg bw in one single shot) were used and all of them reduce significantly (p<0.05) the nasal carriage of H. parasuis as compared to control animals. Moreover, H. parasuis was not detected in the nasal cavities of piglets after administering the highest dose. The effect of a dose of 8 mg marbofloxacin/kg bw in one shot was further studied in a farm with clinical cases of Glässer's disease using a longitudinal study. Statistically significant reduction of nasal carriage of H. parasuis was detected during the first week after treatment in comparison with the control group. However, a clear relationship between the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the different strains, their putative virulence or the treatment group (antibiotic or control) from which they were isolated was not detected. Finally, the effect induced by the antibiotic treatment on the bacterial strains seemed to be transitory, since diverse H. parasuis strains (with high and low marbofloxacin MICs) were observed 7 days after finishing the treatment.

Porcine respiratory disease is a significant economic problem for the global swine industry. (), (), and () are three important pathogenic bacteria of the swine respiratory tract. Notably, the three pathogens not only frequently manifest as mixed infections, but their striking clinical similarities also present difficulties for pig populations in terms of disease prevention and treatment.

Herein, we describe a chemoenzymatic and diversity-oriented approach for the first syntheses of octasaccharide repeating units of the capsular polysaccharides of serovar 15 and serovar 5. The synthetic method features efficient enzymatic assembly of sialyl galactose or -acetyl-galactosamine building blocks, highly stereoselective chemical construction of α-type -phosphonate, and the β-stereospecific 1,3-glycosylation reaction of a rare sugar donor.

Glaesserella parasuis (GPS) is an important bacterial pathogen of swine. Serotype identification has presented a bottleneck in GPS research since it was first identified as the pathogen causing Glässer's disease in pigs in 1910. This paper presents a systematic review of the history of the development and application of gel immunodiffusion (GID), indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) typing methods for GPS, and the discovery of their shared antigenic basis.
