Importance: The emergence and rapid increase in the incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in pig farms has become a serious concern and reduced the choice of effective antibiotics.
Objective: This study analyzed the phylogenetics and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and molecularly identified the source of ARGs in antibiotic-resistant isolated from pig farms in Banten Province, Indonesia.
Methods: Forty-four antibiotic-resistant isolates from fecal samples from 44 pig farms in Banten Province, Indonesia, were used as samples. The samples were categorized into 14 clusters. Sequencing was performed using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION platform, with barcoding before sequencing with Nanopore Rapid sequencing gDNA-barcoding (SQK-RBK110.96) according to manufacturing procedures. ARG detection was conducted using ResFinder, and the plasmid replicon was determined using PlasmidFinder.
Results: Three phylogenetic leaves of were identified in the pig farming cluster in Banten Province. The isolates exhibited potential resistance to nine classes of antibiotics. Fifty-one ARGs were identified across all isolates, with each cluster carrying a minimum of 10 ARGs. The and genes were present in all isolates. ARGs in the pig farming cluster originated mainly from plasmids, accounting for an average of 89.4%.
Conclusions And Relevance: The elevated potential for MDR events, coupled with the dominance of ARGs originating from plasmids, increases the risk of ARG spread among bacterial populations in animals, humans, and the environment.

Background: Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), and may cause fever, nausea, headache, or meningitis. It is currently unclear whether the epidemiological characteristics of the JEV have been affected by the extreme climatic conditions that have been observed in recent years.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the epidemiological characteristics, trends, and potential risk factors of JE in Taiwan from 2008 to 2020.

Background: Biosecurity measures are crucial to the introduction and spread of pathogens both within and between farms. External biosecurity focuses on preventing pathogens from entering or leaving the farm, while internal biosecurity aims to limit or stop the spread of pathogens within the farm. Implementing biosecurity measures not only protects animals from disease but also has positive effects on productivity, welfare and farm profitability.

The spread of Porcine contagious pleuropneumonia (PCP), a severe disease that occurs in pigs caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), remains a threat to the porcine farms and has been known to cause severe economic losses. Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an acute-phase protein rapidly expressed in response to infection and inflammation in vertebrates. This study aimed to investigate the function of SAA3 in bacterial infections.
