Diagnostics of Escherichia coli infections in swine: typing E. coli isolates
Hemolyzing E. coli are not the only ones that are pathogenic. Moreover, hemolyzing E. coli do not generally possess relevant fimbrial and toxin genes.

Escherichia coli infections in pigs (2 of 2)
Post-weaning colibacillosis and oedema disease are common global infection among farmed pigs – these strains of E coli appear to be "embedded" in most pig farms, so elimination is not a current option. Vaccination of sows or gilts with ETEC vaccines has no effect on post-weaning E. coli infections.
New Section on E. coli
We are pleased to introduce a new Section, Colibacilosis. Escherichia coli is the cause of several diseases in pigs, including diarrhoea and oedema disease in piglets, which have a major economic impact.
Effects of ambient temperature on energy and nitrogen utilization in lipopolysaccharide-challenged growing pigs
In conclusion, our study confirms that high temperature reduces feed intake, growth performance, and HP.
Escherichia coli infections in pigs (1 of 2)
This article will focus on clinical signs of some E coli infections: neonatal colibacillosis, post-weaning colibacillosis diarrhoea and oedema disease.
New ZnO presentations can be used at lower concentrations in weanling diets
Low concentrations of commercial potentiated ZnO is effective in against of ETEC-challenged weaning pigs.
Detection of enteric pathogens in newborn piglets (2/2)
The main aspect that cannot be forgotten is the complete approach necessary to evaluate all possibilities. In that sense, samples have to be collected and tested to all possible agents that might cause diarrhea.
Detection of enteric pathogens in newborn piglets (1/2)
The ideal sample for diagnostic of neonatal enteric pathogens is the submission of live piglets.
Effect of susceptibility to ETEC and of dietary Trp on gut microbiota diversity observed in healthy young pigs
An Italian study investigated the intestinal bacterial diversity of healthy pigs with different susceptibility to ETEC and fed different Trp levels.
Plant extracts improves gut health by reducing the severity of E. coli challenge
Use plant extract could enable piglets to better withstand the infections that are often associated with weaning.
EFSA: meat can be transported at temperatures higher than the current maximum
Meat can be transported at temperatures higher than the current maximum of 7°C without causing additional bacterial growth.
United Kingdom: 2013 pig abattoir study
A total of 645 pig carcases were randomly selected and sampled at fourteen slaughterhouses between January and May 2013.
Weaning age and post-weaning feeding programme affect growing performance
Increasing weaning age has positive health effects and increase growth performance between weaning and 10 weeks of age.
Resveratrol and essential oils in challenged piglets
Supplementing resveratrol to weaned piglets could have beneficial effects on growth performance, immune function and the microbial ecosystem.
European Union: harmonised monitoring and reporting of antimicrobial resistance
European Commission published Decision 2013/652/EU on the monitoring and reporting of antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic and commensal bacteria.
Dietary plant extracts alleviate diarrhea and alter immune responses of weaned pigs experimentally infected with a pathogenic Escherichia coli
The plant extracts tested reduced diarrhea, and inflammation caused by E. coli infection, which may be beneficial to pig health.
