Isolation and serotypization of the causative agent of actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae from piglets with respiratory pathology

Abstract

The article presents data on microorganisms isolated from the respiratory tract of piglets with signs of bronchopneumonia, their morphological characteristics and serotyping. It was found that in 15.9 % of the pathological material Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae of serotypes 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10 is excreted. In 50 % of cases, the causative agent of actinobacillary pneumonia of serotypes 2, 6 was isolated. The frequency of isolation of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae from the studied material in the context of farms was slightly different. Most often, the pathogen was isolated from the material of farms in the Minsk region 40 %, respectively, whereas in one of the farms of the Grodno region, the pathogen was isolated only in 16.3 % of cases.
