Porcine enteric diseases including swine dysentery involves a wide range of possible aetiologies and seriously damages the intestine of pigs of all ages. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing is commonly used in research for detecting and analyzing pathogens. In this study, the feces of pigs from a commercial swine farm with dysentery-like diarrhea was collected and used for microbiota analysis by next-generation sequencing.

Meanwhile, the pathogenicity of these microorganisms should not be exaggerated, due to majority asymptomatic cases or infection transmission with minor impaired bowel function.

Article Synopsis
- The anaerobic intestinal spirochaete was first identified in 2007, but no cases in pigs were reported until a severe outbreak occurred in southern Germany, affecting 60% of a fattening farm's finisher pigs with mucohaemorrhagic diarrhoea.
- Diagnostic tests ruled out other common pathogens, and spirochaetes were confirmed in tissue samples, leading to successful culture from affected pigs.
- The study highlights the potential risk of cross-species infection from birds to pigs due to outdoor farming practices and international trade, raising concerns for naive herds.
Speciation, clinical profile & antibiotic resistance in species isolated from cholera-like illnesses in a tertiary care hospital in north India.

Background & Objectives: Aeromonas species have been reported to cause various illnesses in humans such as wound infections, septicaemia, peritonitis and pneumonia. Their role in causation of cholera-like illness is also being increasingly recognized. This retrospective study was done to know the presence of Aeromonas as a cause of acute diarrhoea in a tertiary care hospital and to find the common species of Aeromonas causing diarrhoea and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns.

Brachyspira hampsonii causes dysentery-like disease in infected pigs. Serial passage of a virulent swine isolate (P13) one-hundred times in laboratory culture medium was conducted to produce an attenuated strain, and to identify genomic determinants of virulence through comparison of genome sequences of the original and passaged strains. The resulting strain, P113, did not differ from P13 in terms of diagnostic biochemical characteristics but had an enhanced growth rate in culture, indicating laboratory adaptation.
