Methodological approaches regarding bacteriological diagnostics of actinobacillus pleuropneumonia infection in pigs

Abstract

The culture was determined as pathogenic in cases of death of at least 2 white mice within 24-72 hours, followed by bacteriological examination of the pathological material and subsequent isolation of the culture of the pathogen. As an additional study disks with saponin – 750 μg/disk, bacitracin – 10 μg/disk, erythromycin – 15 μg/disk, azithromycin – 15 μg/disk were used to identify actinobacillus. Conclusions and prospects for further research. As a result of the conducted researches the sequence of research is described, methodical instructions concerning bacteriological diagnosis of APP of pigs are developed and improved, the scheme of researches is presented, cultures of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae from pathological material are isolated. Given that we have proven the prevalence of APP in pigs in domestic farms, bacteriological examination for the presence of its pathogen remains relevant.
