In many infection studies and approaches in breeding research it is of high importance to know the genetic predisposition of pigs for the susceptibility to the Escherichia coli (E. coli). Therefore, we developed a gene test to determine the status of the F18 receptor, as indicated by the FUT1 gene. A SNP in the FUT1 gene was first described by Vogeli et al. (1996) and a gene test was patented by Meijerink et al....
