Brachyspira pilosicoli causes spirochetal diarrhea resulting in reduced growth and great economic losses in pig herds. The disease is treated with antibiotics but today we see an increased incidence of antibiotic resistance in the bacteria, which may lead to difficulties to treat the disease in the near future. How the
bacterium causes disease is unknown. We want to identify proteins of B. pilosicoli that the bacterium uses to attach to the intestinal mucosa. With knowledge of this process, we want to find ways to block the binding and thus probably prevent the onset of symptoms. The proteins may act as antigens for vaccine
development and may be used for development of new and specific diagnostic tests. We also want to develop a gut tissue model both for studying the binding of B. pilosicoli to the intestinal mucosa, and to test the effect of probiotic bacteria on the binding.
Spiroketal diarré orsakar stora ekonomiska avbräck för lantbrukaren på grund av hög smittsamhet och negativ påverkan på tillväxten. Sjukdomen orsakas av bakterien Brachyspira pilosicoli, som hör till gruppen spiroketer, och behandlas idag med antibiotika. Idag ser vi en ökad förekomst av antibiotikaresistens hos bakterien vilket gör att sjukdomen kan bli svårbehandlad i en nära framtid. Kunskaperna om hur B. pilosicoli orsakar sjukdom är ofullständiga. Vi vill identifiera proteiner hos B. pilosicoli som bakterien använder för att fästa till tarmslemhinnan. Med kunskap om den processen vill vi hitta sätt att blockera bindningen och därmed sannolikt förhindra uppkomst av symptom. Proteinerna kan fungera som antigener för vaccinutveckling och användas för utveckling av nya specifika diagnostiska tester. Vi vill även utveckla en tarmvävnadsmodell dels för att studera bindningen av B. pilosicoli till tarmslemhinna, dels för att testa effekten av probiotiska bakterier på bindningen.

Clubroot disease is a serious threat to OSR production in Sweden and genetic resistance is the most important factor in a cropping strategy. The aim is to develop a concept for integrated production of winter OSR supported by DNA technology. Infestation levels and yield of resistant and susceptible …

Conventional production of meat-type chickens in Sweden is characterized by high bio-security and low use of antibiotics. Still, there are indications of variations in day old chick quality causing economic losses in terms of variations in growth and increased condemnation at slaughter. The aim of …

A primary reason for unhealthy legs and claws are unsuitable floor properties in dairy houses,
which may result in slippery floors and slip injuries to cows and mastitis.
The hygiene of a floor surface and floor properties affect the cow claw/floor interaction and gait.
The aim is to determine an …

During the last decade, neonatal porcine diarrhoea (NPD) has become an increased problem in Swedish herds. Clostridium (C.) perfringens type A (CpA) and C. difficile (Cd) have been highlighted as causes of NPD but their importance has also been questioned. We have previously demonstrated that CpA …
