Actinobacillus suis and Actinobacillus equuli, emergent pathogens of septic embolic nephritis, a new challenge for the swine industry

Las lesiones renales son una causa importante de decomiso en los mataderos. Ademas de las posibles consecuencias en salud publica, el decomiso de organos tiene un gran impacto economico en la industria de alimento animal. Recientemente, nefritis embolica septica con lesiones semejantes a infecciones con Actinobacillus equuli en potrillos ha sido detectada en reproductoras y cerdos con peso de mercado. Actinobacillus equuli es fenotipica y geneticamente similar a Actinobacillus suis. Ambas son bacterias Gram-negativas dificiles de diagnosticar en examenes de rutina. A. suis es un patogeno oportunista capaz de producir septicemia en cerdos, neumonia, poliartritis, nefritis embolica septica, aborto y fetos momificados. Brotes de la enfermedad clinica parecieran ocurrir con mas frecuencia en planteles de cerdos con estrictas medidas de bioseguridad. En cerdos adultos, las lesiones de piel pueden confundirse con erisipela porcina. A. suis y A. equuli son patogenos oportunistas emergentes en la industria porcina y ambos tienen potenciales consecuencias en salud publica, principalmente en aquellas personas que manipulan productos carneos. El objetivo de esta publicacion es presentar una revision bibliografica sobre el rol de A. suis y A. equuli en la patogenesis de nefritis en cerdos.
