Frequency of Diarrheagenic Virulence Genes and Characteristics in Escherichia coli Isolates from Pigs with Diarrhea in China
2 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (InPEC) is a leading cause of postweaning diarrhea (PWD) in pigs. Here, a total of 455 E. coli strains were isolated from small intestinal content or feces from pigs with PWD in 56 large-scale (>500 sows; 10,000 animals per year) swine farms between 2014 and 2016. The frequency of occurrence of selected virulence factors for InPEC pathotypes was detected in 455 isolates by...
