Mucosa immunity and E. coli
This article explains how E. coli breaks the complex intestinal barrier mechanisms in a comprehensible way.

Vaccination strategies for the prevention of oedema disease and diarrhoea caused by E.coli. Neonatal and post-weaning diarrhoea (2/2)
Achieving good levels of colostral immunity by vaccinating sows is the first step to prevent scours; subsequently, active pre or post-weaning immunization must be added to prevent post-weaning diarrhoea.
Vaccination strategies for the prevention of oedema disease and diarrhoea caused by E.coli. Oedema disease (1/2)
Oedema disease prevention has traditionally been accomplished through the administration of antibiotics or manipulation of gut microbiota through diet. However, in recent years, many vaccines have been developed to prevent clinical manifestation of the disease.
Characterization of ESBL–producing Escherichia coli isolates from pigs and farm workers
ESBL-producing E. coli isolates with the same β-lactamase genes, antibiotic resistance profiles, enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus types, and multilocus sequence types were detected in both pigs and workers on the same pig farm.
Watch antibiotic resistance evolve
A giant petri dish exposes the evolutionary dynamics behind antibiotic resistance.
Shedding of cephalosporin resistant Escherichia coli in pigs from conventional farms
Intervention strategies targeting sows would likely have a beneficial effect in reducing the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in primary pig production.
Diagnosis and treatment of colibacillosis in the farrowing unit
Diarrhoea is their most typical clinical manifestation, and the earlier the onset, the more harmful it is. Newborn piglets can present with another clinical picture, with signs of sepsis (shock, depression, death, polyarthritis), which is associated with an extraintestinal E. coli.
Netherlands: Screening for colistin resistance will soon be advisable
To gain a better understanding of the way in which this new type of colistin resistance spreads, the bacteria were examined at molecular level.
Protection of piglets against Oedema Disease by maternal immunization with Stx2e Toxoid
The article provides an alternative to the current vaccination programs that could be the solution for farms with early onset oedema disease. However, this alternative —consisting of vaccinating the dams at the end of gestation to achieve post-weaning piglets immunization—, also raises questions...
Genetic selection may be used to control pathogen susceptibility and the composition of the gut microbiota
Genetic selection provides a powerful tool to improve and maintain gut health in industrial pig production, and may in the future become a more sustainable alternative to the currently massive need for antibiotics.
Treatment strategies for intestinal diseases in weaned piglets
Single animal treatment or batch medication? in any case, the treatment and choice of medication should be done based on resistance testing.
Practical approach to the critical control points of post-weaning diarrhoea on the farm
Enric Marco sums up the essential points to control post-weaning diarrhoea in our farm.
Using phytogenic products in swine nutrition
The immunomodulatory effect —particularly anti-inflammatory— of phytogenic products added to the diet seems to play a crucial role in addressing intestinal clinical pictures in pigs.
Risk factors associated to Oedema disease in pigs
OD will normally appear after 1 or 2 weeks post-weaning and most likely associated to the presence of other risk factors.
Effects of ceftiofur treatment on the susceptibility of commensal porcine E.coli
The present study shows that treatment of several animals in a stable with ceftiofur influences the resistance pattern of intestinal Escherichia coli of the treated as well as untreated animals housed in the same stable.
Post-weaning E. coli immunity
In practice, and to have active-acquired antibodies ready at weaning, piglets should be immunised 10 days to 2 weeks before weaning.
