The sequencing results of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) detected in 28 positive pig herds between 2009 and 2010 revealed the detection of six distant viruses of PRRS. The results of this study demonstrated that infection with uncommon PRRSV strains occurred in Slovenian pig farms, which suggests the problems in diagnosis and control of PRRS.

COBISS.SI-ID: 3260794The aim of the study was to develop and optimize an easy to use and efficient technique for concentration and detection of NDV in water samples. The adsorption/elution technique based on positively charged filters was used for virus concentration. The efficiency of concentration was tested at various pH of water samples. Our results suggest that positively charged filters could be used for NDV concentration from water samples. For molecular testing the direct treatment of membrane filters with lysis reagent, included in then RNA extraction, represents the most efficient elution technique.

With feeding experiment of laying hens we established that the tolerated limit for eggs is set too low regarding the tolerated amount in feed.

COBISS.SI-ID: 3213690Antimicrobial susceptibility to 30 antimicrobial agents of 31 C. difficile isolates from pigs, calves, dogs and a horse was examined. The method was broth microdilution on commercially available plates for monitoring resistance of anaerobic and Gram-positive bacteria. All tested isolates were inhibited by concentrations that did not exceed 0.5 µg/ml for vancomycin and 1 µg/ml for metronidazole. E-test was performed for further determination of MICs. The results of two methods were agreeable for all but one strain. The broth microdilution method in this study showed as reproducible and reliable
