Effect of dietary Chitosan supplementation on Intestinal Barrier Function and Growth Performance in weaned piglets challenged by <i>Enterohemorrhagic haemolytic Escherichia coli</i>
2026-03-25
Abstract excerpt
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC) is an important zoonotic pathogen that disrupts intestinal epithelial barrier integrity and induces excessive inflammatory responses, thereby leading to impaired growth performance and intestinal injury.
