Abstract excerpt
F18 enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) causes post-weaning diarrhea in nursery pigs, with susceptibility determined by a polymorphism in the α(1,2)-fucosyltransferase (FUT1) gene at nucleotide M307, where FUT1-M307A/A pigs are deemed F18 resistant and FUT1-M307G/A and FUT1-M307G/G pigs are deemed F18 susceptible to bacterial attachment. This post hoc analysis evaluated the effect of FUT1 genotype on disease...
