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.
Organic acids and medium chain fatty acids on the gastrointestinal health in weanling pigs
The combination of SCFA and MCFA could act as gut flora modifiers to promote intestinal heath at weaning.
Antimicrobial resistance of swine Escherichia coli F4+ strains isolated in Italy from 2002 to 2011
A significant decrease of susceptibility to antimicrobials and a significant increase of multi-resistant strains (classes II and III) of E.coli F4+ was observed from 2002 to 2011.
Dietary β-glucan on growth performance, faecal microbial and immunity in weaned pigs
β-glucan could improve growth performance and immune function in weaned piglets.
An investigation into the association between cpb2-encoding Clostridium perfringens type A and diarrhea in neonatal piglets
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.
