Cover Story: Diseases of the locomotor and central nervous system occur frequently during pig rearing and usually lead to herd problems. Pigs are regularly subjected to further testing, but little is known about the frequency with which various pathogens occur. In the present study, we investigated the frequency distribution of bacterial causes of arthritis and meningitis in Germany by combining necropsy, culture, and histopathology to update information on the role of various pathogens in the field. Pathogen distribution was examined by age class, and S. suis isolates (the most common isolated pathogen) were genotypically differentiated. In addition, various lymph nodes were culturally investigated to elucidate the putative portal of entry of natural S. suis infection in pigs.
