bacteria streptomyces pneumoniae are referred to as pneumococcal diseases. it attacks different parts of the body causing different diseases. when it invades the lungs, it causes pneumonia. when it invades the brain, it causes meningitis. when it invades the blood, it causes bacteremia. and when...
Full size image Discussion The presence of a large within-host viral heterogeneity, often referred as quasispecies, has been demonstrated for several viruses. The continuous generation of new variants can play a relevant role in viral biology, persistence and pathogenesis, allowing viruses to either ...
Full size table PCV2 circulation confirmation and farm classification Viral circulation was demonstrated in the five herds. Four of them (farms A-D) showed only one qPCR positive blood pool, with values ranging between 9.8 × 105–1.7 × 106 PCV2 copies/ml blood; in addition, no...
The blood pressure was kept within ± 20% of the preoperative resting blood pressure fluctuation, while the heart rate ranged from 60 to 100 beats per minute during the procedure. Cardiovascular active medications were administered in response to hypotension or bradycardia during the procedure. Des...
An “immunogenic” protein or polypeptide, as used herein, includes the full-length sequence of any PCV2 proteins, analogs thereof, or immunogenic fragments thereof. The term “immunogenic fragment” refers to a fragment of a protein which includes one or more epitopes and thus elicits the ...

Full size image Results of these therapeutic studies were also important in the evolving understanding of the nature of PCV lesions. While earlier studies emphasised the difference in the benefit of PDT in PCV compared to typical nAMD, the two lesions had been proposed to be distinct entities. ...
in protecting the animal from disease. Although there are some studies on the internalization and disassembly of PCV2 in the artificial monocytic cell line 3D4/31 or in the porcine blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) [11,16,19], PCV2 entry and the viral outcome in primary porcine monocytes have...
Antibiotic non-susceptibility (includes intermediate and full resistance isolates). All the isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, levofloxacin, and linezolid. Multidrug resistant (MDR), ≥3 classes of antibiotics. pcpA, pneumococcal choline-binding protein A; psrP, Pneumococcal serine-rich repeat ...
