We are investigators from the Research Group on Infectious Diseases of Swine of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Université de Montréal. We study how some microbes, bacteria, cause diseases in animals and humans. We study bacteria such as Escherichia coli (which causes traveller's diarrhea in human and a similar disease in pigs), Streptococcus suis (which causes a deadly infection of the brain in pigs and humans) and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (which causes a very contagious infection of the lungs in pigs). We are discovering the weapons that these microbes use to cause disease and learning how they work. This research leads to new diagnostic tools (we develop tests looking specifically for these weapons, for instance) and new strategies to control infection (drugs or vaccines that target the weapons, thus rendering the microbe harmless).

我们是蒙特雷亚尔大学兽医学系猪传染病研究组的调查人员。我们研究一些微生物，细菌，是如何在动物和人类中引起疾病的。我们研究的细菌包括：大肠杆菌(可引起人类旅行者腹泻和猪的类似疾病)、猪链球菌(可导致猪和人的致命脑部感染)和胸膜肺炎放线杆菌(可引起猪肺部的高度传染性感染)。我们正在发现这些微生物用来引发疾病的武器，并了解它们是如何工作的。这项研究导致了新的诊断工具(例如，我们开发了专门寻找这些武器的测试)和控制感染的新策略(针对武器的药物或疫苗，从而使微生物无害)。
