Abstract excerpt
The capsular polysaccharide (CP) of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is required for virulence of the bacteria in swine. However, a molecular investigation of whether the type or quantity of CP affects A. pleuropneumoniae virulence has not been reported. To initiate this investigation, a DNA region downstream of conserved genes required for CP export in A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 was cloned and sequenced....
