Which of these diseases would not respond to antibiotic therapy?

Explanation:
Antibiotics target bacteria, not viruses. African swine fever is caused by a virus (ASFV), so the disease itself wouldn’t respond to antibiotic therapy. The other listed diseases are bacterial infections (erysipelas by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae; pleuropneumonia by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae; Glasser's disease by Haemophilus parasuis) and would be expected to respond to appropriate antibiotics, though management may also include other measures.
