Abstract excerpt
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are significant pathogen in both cattle and pigs, causing diarrhea in these animals and leading to economic losses in the livestock industry. Understanding the dissimilarity in genotype, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and virulence between bovine and swine ETEC is crucial for development of targeted preventive and therapeutic approaches for livestock. However, a...
