Immunization of calves against enterotoxigenic colibacillosis by vaccinating dams with purified K99 antigen and whole cell bacterins.
Pregnant cattle were either vaccinated subcutaneously with (i) a suspension of purified Escherichia coli K99 pili, (ii) a Formalin-killed whole cell bacterin containing enterotoxigenic E. coli strain B44 (O9:K30;K99:H-), or (iii) a bacterin containing six different strains of bovine enterotoxigenic E. coli (multiple-strain bacterin), or were left as nonvaccinated controls. After birth, calves w...
متن کاملPassive immunization of piglets against enterotoxigenic colibacillosis by vaccinating dams with K88ac pili bearing bacterins.
Day-old-piglets were passively immunized by vaccinating the pregnant sows with K88ac enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) vaccine. High level of ETEC specific antibodies was excreted in colostrum (3733.33 +/- 1152.13) and maintained a detectable level (100.00 +/- 0.00) up to 21 day post partum (DPP). The IgG was the predominant immunoglobulin followed by IgA and IgM. Piglets born of vaccinat...
متن کاملVaccination of cows with a K99 extract to protect newborn calves against experimental enterotoxic colibacillosis.
Pregnant cows and heifers were vaccinated with a crude K99 extract prepared from an Escherichia coli K-12, K99 strain. A similar group, injected with an extract prepared from the K-12 parent strain, served as a control. Eleven calves were born to both groups and challenged orally with a mean of 1.6 x 10(11) bacteria of enterotoxic E. coli B41 (O101:K99+, ST+) at the time of first colostrum upta...
متن کاملPassive protective effect of anti-K99 antibodies against enterotoxigenic E.coli infection in neonatal calves
BACKGROUND: BACKGROUND: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the main causative agents of neonatal calf diarrhea. Passive transfer of antibodies that is derived from the dams of the calves through their colostrum plays an important role in disease prevention. OBJECTIVES: To determine the presence of natural specific antibodies against K99 antigen in dam’s serum and colostrum as well as in...
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...
