Commercial farmed swine harbour a variety of pathogenic bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes.

ABSTRACT: Introduction. The northern region of Thailand serves as a crucial area for swine production, contributing to the Thai community food supply. Previous studies have highlighted the presence of foodborne bacterial pathogens originating from swine farms in this region, posing a threat to both human and animal health.Gap statement. Multiple swine bacterial pathogens have been studied at a species level, but the distribution and co-occurrence of bacterial pathogens in agricultural swine has not been well established.Aim. Our study employed the intestinal scraping technique to directly examine the bacterial micro-organisms interacting with the swine host.Methodology. We used shotgun metagenomic sequencing to analyse the bacterial pathogens inhabiting the caecal microbi
