Population genomics of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae reveals lineage-associated K:O antigen and Apx toxin diversity
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) is the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, causing high mortality and morbidity and substantial economic losses in the swine industry. Nineteen capsular (K) serotypes, defined by variation in capsular polysaccharide (CPS) biosynthesis loci, ten O serotypes, defined by variation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis loci, characteristic Apx toxin…
