Description
Summary:is a major pathogen of swine, which can cause severe pleuropneumonia in pigs, but sometimes the disease can be generalized. Diseases caused by are frequent all over the world, resulting in high losses among domestic pigs. However, our knowledge on the occurrence of in wild boars and feral pigs is limited. We aimed to examine the carriage of by hunted wild boars. The presence of was examined in tonsils of 68 hunted wild boars collected at a game processing unit. An in-house designed species-specific PCR test was used to detect the gene of Apx IV toxin, and the samples were inoculated on a modified selective agar. was detected in 10 animals (14.7%) by PCR and one serotype 12 strain was isolated. The antibiotic resistance pattern of the strain resembled field strains that were isolated from farmed pigs in Hungary. This is the first case for the detection of not only using PCR or ELISA, but also its isolation, identification, and serotyping.
