Prevalence of serogroups and genotypes for fimbriae and enterotoxins in <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolated from diarrheic piglets in western China
Porcine neonatal diarrhea and postweaning diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) result in significant morbidity and mortality and are economically important diseases of pigs.1 Secretory diarrhea associated with ETEC infection is mediated by any of several enterotoxins, including heat labile enterotoxin (LT), heat-stable enterotoxin-a (STa), and heat-stable enterotoxin-b (ST...
متن کاملPrevalence of Fimbrial Antigen (K88 variants, K99 and 987P) of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia Coli from Neonatal and Post-weaning Piglets with Diarrhea in Central China
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is a major cause of diarrhea in neonatal and post-weaning piglets. To determine the most common fimbrial antigens of ETEC in piglets with diarrhea, two investigations were carried out on intensive pig farms in Hubei province, central China. In 2002-2003, 227 fecal samples from neonatal and post-weaning piglets with diarrhea were tested for the presence of the fi...
متن کاملEffect of parenteral vaccination of dams on intestinal Escherichia coli in piglets with diarrhea.
To evaluate the effect of widely used parenteral vaccination of dams against neonatal colibacillosis, the virulence factors of the intestinal Escherichia coli flora, namely, O serogroup, enterotoxin(s) produced (heat labile, porcine heat stable, and murine heat stable) and adhesins (K88, K99, and 987P antigens) of 149 piglets from different herds in Sweden were investigated. Three categories we...
متن کاملPhenotype and genotype of Escherichia coli isolated from pigs with postweaning diarrhea in Hungary.
A total of 205 Escherichia coli isolates from 88 diarrheal weanling (4- to 10-week-old) pigs from 59 farms were tested by slide agglutination for K88, K99, F41, and 987P antigens. K88 antigen was detected in 61% of the isolates representing 60% of the pigs and 56% of the farms. K88 antigen was associated with serogroup O149 and 91% of the K88+ isolates. K99, F41, and 987P were not detected. Of ...
متن کاملPassive protective effect of chicken egg yolk immunoglobulins against experimental enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection in neonatal piglets.
Passive protection of neonatal piglets against fatal enteric colibacillosis was achieved with powder preparations of specific antibodies against K88, K99, and 987P fimbrial adhesins of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. The antibody powders were obtained by spray drying the water-soluble protein fraction of egg yolks from immunized hens after the lipid components were precipitated with an aqueou...
