AI Article Synopsis
- Staphylococcus hyicus causes exudative epidermitis, a skin disease in pigs.
- A complete genome analysis of its type strain showed it has a type VII secretion system.
- The genome also contains a large chromosomal island with genes for exfoliative toxin ExhA and a related EDIN toxin.
Article Abstract
Staphylococcus hyicus is the primary etiological agent of exudative epidermitis in swine. Analysis of the complete genome sequence of the type strain revealed a locus encoding a type VII secretion system and a large chromosomal island harboring the genes encoding exfoliative toxin ExhA and an EDIN toxin homolog.

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has surfaced as a critical challenge to public health on a global scale. The precise and swift identification of resistance to antimicrobial agents, along with timely and suitable antimicrobial therapy paired with effective stewardship practices, is crucial for managing the rise and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. The objective of our investigation was to outline the antimicrobial resistance profile of spp.

Article Synopsis
- Staphylococcus hyicus is a bacterium that leads to skin disease in piglets, producing harmful toxins responsible for symptoms of exudative epidermitis, and antimicrobial treatment often fails due to resistance issues.
- A study examined 17 isolates of S. hyicus from piglets, confirming their identity and analyzing the presence of specific exfoliative toxin genes, with 52.9% of isolates showing these genes, primarily exhB, exhC, and exhD.
- Results indicated that while all isolates were highly susceptible to certain antibiotics, 82.4% displayed multidrug resistance, highlighting the need for better management and treatment approaches for the skin disease in pigs.

Article Synopsis
- Pathogenic infections pose significant health risks to livestock, leading to the exploration of herbal alternatives like Cordyceps militaris (C. militaris) due to concerns about antibiotic resistance and the traditional use of antibiotic growth promoters.
- The study found that the ethanol extract from C. militaris not only has strong antioxidant properties but also effectively inhibits common pig pathogens and reduces inflammation in pig cells, indicating its potential health benefits.
- Pigs supplemented with C. militaris showed improved growth performance and enhanced immune responses, suggesting its viability as a natural growth promoter in livestock.
