Abstract excerpt
Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis was applied to detect allelic variation and multilocus genotypes (electrophoretic types [ETs]) among 43 Escherichia coli isolates from weaned pigs suffering from edema disease or from diarrhea. ETs were analyzed in relation to O serogroups and virulence genes (sta, stb, lt, stx2, and f18) by DNA hybridization. Genomic diversity was the lowest in serogroup O138, while virulence...
