Pyogenic hepatic abscess (PHA) is a rare but potentially serious disease. Investigations of new therapeutic methods urgently need experimental support in corresponding animal models. However, to date, few studies have evaluated PHA in the minipig. The linear regression equation of the Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 strain was established. PHA was successfully mocked, and S. aureus ATCC 29213 was the only pathogenic bacterium identified. The abscess formation stage was observed on the 21st day…

A porcine bimicrobial abscess model for testing interventional treatments
TLDR
This paper provides the first description of a pig model for multiloculated abscesses, which could potentially enable the evaluation of new technologies to replace or augment the current standard of care (image-guided percutaneous abscess drainage with antibiotics).
Alcoholization of pyogenichepatic abscess with absolute alcohol in Bama minipigs.
TLDR
In conclusion, ultrasound-guided percutaneous alcoholization is a safe and effective procedure to manage PHA and may reduce the treatment period and possibly become a novel strategy for the management of PHA.
Histological and anatomical structure of the nasal cavity of Bama minipigs
TLDR
The present work comprises a histological study of the nasal cavity of Bama minipigs, and will be beneficial for understanding the mechanisms of immunity in these animals after nasal vaccination.

An experimental model for pyogenic liver abscess.
A pig model of acute Staphylococcus aureus induced pyemia
TLDR
This study demonstrates the successful induction of acute pyemia (microabscesses), and forms a basis for future experiments that should include inoculation with strains of S. aureus isolated from man and an extension of the timeframe aiming at inducing sepsis, severe seps isis and septic shock.
Percutaneous transhepatic alcoholization: a new therapeutic strategy in children with chronic granulomatous disease and liver abscess.
TLDR
A case of liver abscess successfully treated by percutaneous transhepatic alcoholization after antibiotic therapy and per cutaneous drainage had failed, avoiding the need for hepatic resection in patients with chronic granulomatous disease.
Predictors of mortality in patients with pyogenic liver abscess.
TLDR
The prognosis of PLA may depend chiefly on the severity of the basic physical condition and underlying pathology, and a more aggressive approach should be considered, especially for patients with poor prognosis.
Computed tomographic evaluation of an experimental model for pyogenic liver abscesses.
TLDR
There was more gas and calcium in the experimentally induced abscesses than is encountered in humans with hepatic abscessing, and the model and its CT characteristics appear well suited for future studies in the diagnosis and treatment of liver abscesss.

Percutaneous drainage and alcoholization of hepatic abscesses in five dogs and a cat.
TLDR
In this retrospective study, five dogs and one cat with focal hepatic lesions compatible with a hepatic abscess were treated with percutaneous ultrasound-assisted drainage and alcoholization using 95% ethanol.
Liver Abscess Production by Non-Spore-Forming Anaerobic Bacteria in a Mouse Model
A model anaerobic infection consisting of progressive intrahepatic abscesses was produced in mice by injection of single and combined species of non-spore-forming anaerobic bacteria.
