Genomic diversity, antibiotic resistance, and maturation‑dependent adhesion of F18 enterotoxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> strains in porcine intestinal cells
2026-01-25
Abstract excerpt
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains expressing F4 and F18 fimbriae are major causes of neonatal and post-weaning diarrhea in swine. Although epithelial maturation influences susceptibility in vivo, its impact on ETEC-host interactions remains poorly defined. This study characterizes emerging F18 ETEC isolates using a differentiated porcine intestinal cell model. Three F18 strains (3EC1, 27EC1, 3247EC)...
