Development of a 3-transcript host expression assay to differentiate between viral and bacterial infections in pigs.

Indiscriminate use of antibiotics to treat infections that are of viral origin contributes to unnecessary use which potentially may induce resistance in commensal bacteria. To counteract this a number of host gene transcriptional studies have been conducted to identify genes that are differently exp...
