Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the most common cause of E. coli diarrhea in
farm animals. ETEC are characterized by the ability to produce two types of virulence factors …

As part of an interdisciplinary research project, the performance response of sows and their
litters to the probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415, as well as some health …

To identify emerging Escherichia coli that have the potential to cause diarrhea in pigs, the
prevalence of E. coli pathotypes was determined among 170 and 120 isolates from diarrheic …

Two hundred and fifty Escherichia coli isolates from diarrhoeic and healthy piglets were
serotyped and tested for the presence of virulence genes for fimbriae, intimin, heat-labile …

Fecal samples from suckling (n= 153) and weaned (n= 116) piglets with diarrhea in Japan
were examined for shedding of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens using culture …

To prevent and treat colibacillosis efficiently, a thorough understanding of the antimicrobial
and virulence profiles present in porcine pathogenic Escherichia (E.) coli is needed. In this …

Background Escherichia (E.) coli causes colibacillosis in swine and humans, and is
frequently associated with antimicrobial resistance. In this study we aimed to compare …

To diagnose colibacillosis, detection of O-serogroups and virulence genes has been
recommended worldwide. The prevalence of virulence factors can fluctuate over time. The …

Faecal Escherichia coli isolates from suckling (n= 503) and weaning (n= 450) piglets with
and without diarrhoea from 10 farms in Mexico were examined for identification and …

A total of 476 Escherichia coli isolated from weaned pigs with diarrhea and/or edema
