Bacterial competition as a means of preventing neonatal diarrhea in pigs

J N Davidson et al. Infect Immun. 1976 Jun.

Abstract

Baby pigs orally inoculated with a porcine strain of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (K88+,Ent+) showed signs of depression, severe diarrhea, and, in some instances, death. Few, if any, signs of illness occurred if baby pigs were first inoculated with a K88 possessing non-enterotoxin-producing strain of E. coli.
