Abstract Background The bacterium Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is responsible for porcine pleuropneumonia a widespread highly contagious and often fatal respiratory disease of pigs. The general porcine innate immune response after A. pleuropneumoniae infection is still not clarified. The objective of this study was hence to characterise the transcriptional response measured by using cDNA microarrays in pigs 24 hours after experimental inoculation with A. .
