Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Universal biomarkers in the fecal microbiota that predict susceptibility to post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) would be valuable for future intervention strategies. Genetic susceptibility to enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) infection in pigs is a major determinant of PWD and may unfavourably alter early-life gut microbiota composition. We investigated whether pigs genetically susceptible to ETEC F4ab/ac had...
