Abstract:Background
Staphylococcus hyicus
causes porcine exudative epidermitis, predominantly affecting suckling and weaned piglets. This bacterium produces various exfoliative toxins (ExhA, ExhB, ExhC, ExhD, SHETA, and SHETB), which are responsible for the clinical manifestations of exudative epidermitis. However, treatment failure is common due to frequent antimicrobial resistance in porcine strains. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the genes encoding exfoliative toxins and assess t… Show more
