AMR – Swine in Minnesota

Summary: The impacts of viral infection and subsequent antimicrobials on the microbiome-resistome of growing pigs

This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.

The Science Page this week describes a study done by Tara N. Gaire, Carissa Odland, Bingzhou Zhang, Tui Ray, Enrique Doster, Joel Nerem, Scott Dee, Peter Davies and Noelle Noyes and sheds some light on the antimicrobial resistances carried by the pig’s microbiome after disease and treatment.

Summary: Evaluation of the Impact of Antimicrobial Use Protocols in Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus-Infected Swine on Phenotypic Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns

This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.

Today, researchers Carissa A. Odland, Roy Edler, Noelle R. Noyes, Scott A. Dee, and Joel Nerem summarize the findings of a 149-day study on antimicrobial use during PRRS infections.

Summary of: Antimicrobial use in lactating sows, piglets, nursery, and grower-finisher pigs on swine farms in Ontario, Canada during 2017-2018

This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.

This week’s science page is a summary of a research project done by Angelina L. Bosman, Anne E. Deckert, Carolee A. Carson, Zvonimir Poljak, Richard J. Reid-Smith, and Scott A. McEwen at the University of Guelph and the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Virulence associated factors, antimicrobial resistance, and in silico serotyping of Streptococcus suis
