A better knowledge of the gastrointestinal bacterial composition would help to find new feed strategies to avoid pathologic infections and thus keep pigs healthier.
Conjunctival, pharyngeal, and rectal swabs were cultured for pathologic bacterial infections (16 ).
Some pathologic bacterial infections of the respiratory and digestive system were confirmed by swab cultures.
The pathologic response to infection with Bartonella spp. varies substantially with the status of the host's immune system; vasoproliferative lesions are most frequently reported for immunocompromised patients.
Cut-out failure associated with avascular head necrosis, pathologic fracture, deep infection or secondary to prior failure of other implants were excluded from the study (14 cases).
The normal thoracic radiograph findings for the case-patient described here cannot, however, be considered a definitive exclusion criterion: in highly immunocompromised patients, a chest radiograph may show no abnormalities, even when substantial pathologic features of infection are present (6 ).
For example, nothing is known about the clinical and pathologic significance of infections with this parasite.
There was maternal serologic and fetal pathologic evidence of cytomegalovirus infection in 1 case.
Pathologic diagnosis of Mycobacterium infection from bony specimens was recorded for 35 (92%) patients.
Typical features of chronic S. japonicum infection include pathologic changes in the spleen and liver (39 ).
