Breed effects on the virulence gene profiles and genetic diversity at FUT1, MUC4, MUC13 and MUC20 candidate genes for controlling diarrhoea-causing Escherichia coli.
Escherichia (E) coli infections result in diarrhoea and oedema in growing pigs. Enterotoxigenic (ETEC), shigatoxin producing (STEC) and enteroaggregative (EAEC) E. coli have been identified as the principal causes of colibacillosis in most pig production systems. These E. coli use fimbrial and non-f...
