Bacteriological, serological, and histopathological study of post-weaning piglets experimentally infected with Salmonella Typhimurium

In the last decades, infections by several serovars of Salmonella have become relevant worldwide, not only due to their impact on veterinary health and animal production, but also because they may serve as a source of infection for the human population. Pigs can be infected by several Salmonella ser...

description In the last decades, infections by several serovars of Salmonella have become relevant worldwide, not only due to their impact on veterinary health and animal production, but also because they may serve as a source of infection for the human population. Pigs can be infected by several Salmonella serovars, being S. Typhimurium one of the most frequently isolated worldwide. In this context, the evaluation of strategies to control Salmonella in farms demands the understanding of the pathogenesis of the microorganism. Thus, the objective of this work was to carry out an experimental infection in 50-day-old pigs using a field strain of S. Typhimurium to evaluate the excretion of the microorganism, organs colonization and the development of histological injuries over the 13-day trial period. Disease was successfully reproduced in eight animals, and two clinical patterns were identified. In four animals, a primarily enteric pattern was observed, where the infection was limited to the gastrointestinal tract, while in another four pigs, enteric and systemic infection with variable fecal excretion and invasion of internal organs was observed. These two infectious patterns were accompanied by changes in fecal consistency and reduced daily weight gain or weight loss in the animals. The observation of two different infectious patterns highlights the need to consider the complexity of the pathogenicity of Salmonella Typhimurium infection in pigs.

En las últimas décadas las infecciones por diferentes serovariedades de Salmonella han adquirido importancia a nivel mundial, no solo por su impacto en la sanidad y en la producción de los animales, sino también porque estos constituyen una fuente de infección para los humanos. Los cerdos pueden estar infectados o ser portadores de distintas serovariedades con potencial zoonótico, siendo S. Typhimurium una de las más frecuentemente aisladas a nivel mundial. En este contexto, la evaluación de estrategias para el control de Salmonella en granjas exige el conocimiento de la patogenia del microorganismo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar una infección experimental en cerdos de 50 días de edad utilizando una cepa de campo de S. Typhimurium para evaluar la excreción del microorganismo, la colonización de órganos y el desarrollo de lesiones histológicas durante los 13 días del ensayo. Se logró reproducir la enfermedad en ocho animales y se pudo identificar dos cuadros clínicos. En cuatro animales se observó un cuadro principalmente entérico, en el que la infección estuvo limitada al tracto gastrointestinal; mientras que en otros cuatro cerdos se observó infección entérica y sistémica con excreción fecal variable e invasión de órganos internos. Estos dos cuadros infecciosos estuvieron acompañados de cambios en la consistencia de la materia fecal y menor ganancia diaria de peso o adelgazamiento de los animales. La observación de dos cuadros infecciosos diferentes muestra la necesidad de considerar la complejidad de la patogenicidad de la infección por Salmonella Typhimurium en cerdos.
