Acute infection with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae affects mucin expression, glycosylation, and fecal MUC5AC
6 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Introduction Infection with strongly β-hemolytic strains of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae leads to swine dysentery (SD), a production-limiting disease that causes mucohemorrhagic diarrhea and typhlocolitis in pigs. This pathogen has strong chemotactic activity toward mucin, and infected pigs often have a disorganized mucus layer and marked de novo expression of MUC5AC, which is not constitutively expressed in the...
