Characterization of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae isolates from pigs in Piedmont, Italy, by whole-genome sequencing: insights into antimicrobial resistance
Background Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) remains a major respiratory pathogen in swine production worldwide. The limited cross-protection of available vaccines and the increasing occurrence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) highlight the need for integrated phenotypic and genomic surveillance to support effecti...
