Effects of E. coli bivalent vaccine and of host genetic susceptibility to E. coli on the growth performance and faecal microbial profile of weaned pigs
2020, Livestock ScienceCitation Excerpt :The post weaning diarrhoea (PWD) is widely diffused in pigs resulting in an increase of animals’ mortality and morbidity, slow growth and an increase of antibiotic uses and treatment costs. The enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) carrying the adhesive fimbriae F4 and F18 are recognized as the main pathogens associated with PWD in pigs (Luppi, 2017; Rippinger et al., 1995; Xia et al., 2015). These fimbriae allow the ETEC colonization of the intestinal mucosa and mediate the production of enterotoxins that induce an intestinal dysbiosis and secretory diarrhoea (Luppi, 2017; Rippinger et al., 1995; Xia et al., 2015).
Intestinal challenge with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in pigs, and nutritional intervention to prevent postweaning diarrhea
2017, Animal NutritionCitation Excerpt :The F18 fimbriae occur as 2 antigenic variants, F18ab and F18ac, where the “a” is a common antigenic factor, and “b”, “c” are specific factors (Sarrazin and Bertschinger, 1996). Before 1995, F18 fimbriae were designated as F107 (which is now recognized as F18ab), 2134P, or 8813 (which is now recognized as F18ac) (Imberechts et al., 1992, 1994; Rippinger et al., 1995). The F18ab are poorly expressed in vitro and usually found on Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) and ETEC, whereas F18ac are easier to be expressed in vitro and usually found on ETEC (Wittig et al., 1995; Nagy et al., 1997).
ETEC vaccination in pigs
2013, Veterinary Immunology and ImmunopathologyCitation Excerpt :For F18, 2 antigenic variants were discovered, namely F18ab and F18ac (Rippinger et al., 1995). In general, post-weaning diarrhoea is caused by the F18ac variant whereas F18ab is more related to oedema disease, although there are exceptions (Hide et al., 1995; Rippinger et al., 1995). In addition to the porcine ETEC strains expressing the classical fimbrial antigens (F4, F5, F6, F7, and F18), a subgroup of porcine ETEC expressing an afimbrial adhesin involved in diffuse adherence (AIDA) was described (Ngeleka et al., 2003).
DNA sequence analysis of the composite plasmid pTC conferring virulence and antimicrobial resistance for porcine enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
2012, International Journal of Medical MicrobiologyCitation Excerpt :STb and F18 are characteristic plasmid-mediated virulence factors of porcine post-weaning ETEC. One prototype strain of F18 fimbria-producing ETEC is Ec2173 (O147:K+, NM, STa, STb, Hy, F18ac) isolated in Hungary from a fatal case of porcine post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) (Nagy et al., 1990; Rippinger et al., 1995). Ec2173 harbours two large virulence plasmids: one (pF18) is approximately 200 kb in size with a RepFIc replicon, coding for F18ac and haemolysin (Fekete et al., 2002; Olasz et al., 2005).
