Inhibitory activities of colicins against Escherichia coli strains responsible for postweaning diarrhea and edema disease in swine.

The efficacies of colicins E1 and N against Escherichia coli strains responsible for postweaning diarrhea and edema disease, two of the most prevalent disease problems for pigs in the United States, were determined in vitro. These proteins may provide an environmentally sound means for the prevention of these infections in swine.

Efficacy of dietary supplementation of bacteriophages in treatment of concurrent infections with enterotoxigenic <em>Escherichia coli</em> K88 and K99 in postweaning pigs

Postweaning diarrhea or colibacillosis is a costly disease causing substantial mortality, as well as growth retardation, in swine production.1-3 Colibacillosis is typically associated with avid intestinal adhesion and fecal shedding of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). The ETEC causing diarrhea in postweaning pigs carries the F4 (K88) or F18 fimbrial antigen in most cases.4-6 The F5 (K99...

Enteritis in grower-finisher pigs caused by F18-positive Escherichia coli

Escherichia coli is a common cause of postweaning diarrhea in swine, but usually does not affect grower-finisher pigs. Eleven-week-old grower pigs presented with an acute and severe watery diarrhea, initially considered to be transmissible gastroenteritis. Diagnostic submissions showed the causative agent to be an F18positive E coli producing shiga-like toxin. No pigs developed neurological sig...

Escherichia coli in postweaning diarrhea in pigs: an update on bacterial types, pathogenesis, and prevention strategies.

Escherichia coli is one of the most important causes of postweaning diarrhea in pigs. This diarrhea is responsible for economic losses due to mortality, morbidity, decreased growth rate, and cost of medication. The E. coli causing postweaning diarrhea mostly carry the F4 (K88) or the F18 adhesin. Recently, an increase in incidence of outbreaks of severe E. coli-associated diarrhea has been obse...
