Abstract excerpt
Pigs infected with hemolytic F4(+) strains of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli often develop septicemia secondary to intestinal infection. We tested the hypothesis that inactivation of hemolysin would reduce the ability of F4(+) enterotoxigenic E. coli to cause septicemia in swine following oral...
