The effects of infection by E. coli were dependent of both bacterial load and storage period, whereas the effects of C. perfringens were mainly dependent on the bacterial load.

The aim of the study was to determine both environmental and infectious factors, influencing occurrence of bacterial enteropathogens in suckling piglets.

Positive antibacterial effect of the combination of medium chain fatty acids and probiotics in weanling diets.

The reason for the variability of resistance between animal species is unknown and requires further research.  

The results confirm previous suggestions that the procedure used to isolate C. difficile can have a significant impact on prevalence data for this pathogen.

We investigated C. difficile prevalence in piglets in Australia and isolated a novel strain with a unique pathogenicity locus.

High-fermentable NSP may reduce the intestinal abundance of swine pathogenic clostridia.

The number of cpb2-positive type A C. perfringens in the intestinal contents was not a useful approach for making a diagnosis of type A C. perfringens enteritis in piglets.

Annualized data analysis suggested that MES has become more prevalent as a cause of neonate pig diarrhea over this interval, and that this rise in prevalence has been due to an increasing presence of C. perfringens.

The antimicrobial peptide-A3 can be used as a potential alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in weanling pigs.

The presented prospective study describes how soon Clostridium difficile can be isolated from newborn piglets after normal parturition and how C. difficile spreads within a pig farm.

A longitudinal study of Clostridium difficile colonization in piglets was performed on a conventional swine farm in Ontario, Canada. Fecal samples were collected from 10 sows prior to their expected farrowing date, and then from all their piglets on days 2, 7, 30, 44 and 62 of life.
