Shifts in the swine nasal microbiota following Bordetella bronchiseptica challenge in a longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT: Bordetella bronchiseptica is a widespread, highly infectious bacterial pathogen that causes respiratory disease in swine and increases the severity of respiratory infections caused by other viral or bacterial pathogens. However, the impact of B. bronchiseptica infection on the swine respiratory microbiota has not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we aim to assess the influence of B. bronchiseptica infection on the community structure and abundance of members of the swine nasal microbiota. To do so, the nasal microbiota of a non-infected control group and a group infected with B. bronchiseptica (BB group) were characterized prior to B. bronchiseptica strain KM22 challenge (day 0) and on selected days in the weeks following B. bronchiseptica challe
