To study enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) association to the gut of pigs, a simple and reproducible experimental model would be helpful. The aim of this experiment was to establish a model for studying the association of ETEC to the gut epithelium of pigs. Intestinal segments were prepared from 4 weaned pigs, which were tested susceptible to E. coli O149:F4 (homo- and heterozygotic; 2 pigs each) and...
