Abstract: Chinese Guizhou mini-pigs were orally infected with a high-virulence strain of S. enteritidis. The kinetics of the S. enteritidis genomic deoxyribonucleic acid loads was analysised by the real-time PCR assay and the histopathological examination in various tissues were investigated. The results showed that at 4 h postinoculation, high S. enteritidis deoxyribonucleic acid loads were observed in various organs of the infected pigs. Thereafter, the bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid loads increased by various amounts until 2nd day postinoculation. The time course of the appearance of bacterial antigens and tissue lesions in various tissues was coincident with the levels of the bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid loads at the infection sites.
