The SafePork conference series began in 1996 to bring together international researchers, industry, and government agencies to discuss current Salmonella research and identify research needs pertaining to both pig and pork production. In subsequent years topics of research presented at these conferences expanded to include other chemical and biological hazards to pig and pork production.

Abstract
Trueperella pyogenes is an oportunistic pathogen involved in miscellaneous pyogenic infections in pigs and ruminants, including metritis, udder lesions, abscesses, pneumonia, arthritis, endocarditis, lymphadenitis and osteomyelitis. This microorganism has been related to located or generalized piogranulomatous lesions in different body locations, which are responsible for total or partial condemnations at slaughterhouses (Lara et al., 2011; Cardoso-Toset et al., 2015).
