我们是蒙特里萨大学兽医学院猪传染病研究小组的研究人员。我们研究一些微生物、细菌如何引起动物和人类的疾病。我们研究的细菌包括大肠杆菌（在人类中引起旅行者腹泻，在猪中引起类似疾病）、猪链球菌（在猪和人类中引起致命的大脑感染）和胸膜肺炎放线杆菌（在猪中引起极具传染性的肺部感染）。我们正在发现这些微生物用来致病的武器，并了解它们是如何工作的。这项研究带来了新的诊断工具（例如，我们开发了专门针对这些武器的测试）和控制感染的新策略（针对这些武器的药物或疫苗，从而使微生物无害）。

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).
