VTEC
MMA, UTI (cull sow)
CATTLE e. coli FACTORS
ETEC, EPEC
EHEC
Mastitis & Septicemia
DOG/CAT e. coli FACTORS
cats –> rarely infected
dogs –> UTI
Bacterial Dt in piglets (etiologies)
ETEC, EPEC, Salmonella
&others not covered in this section
ETEC in Swine:
1) Ages & Adhesion Factors
2) CS
3) Toxins
1) Neonatal : F5, 6, 41 2-4 wk: F4, LT, East1 Wean: F4, 18, LT, East 1 2) Watery Diarrhea 3) All enterotoxins (STA, STB, LT, East1)
ETEC in pigs uses which non-fimbrial adhesin (important for vaccines!)
AIDA-1
Symptoms of ETEC in pigs
Smelly, watery diarrhea
Pigs remain drinking
Dehydration
Diarrhea in older animals: white-grey, less watery
Dx of ETEC in pigs
Agglutination test and PCR
Tx of ETEC in pigs
Hydration & Antimicrobials
VTEC in pigs
Edema disease (F18)
Symptoms appear 3 wk post-weaning
Triggered by stress
Edema Disease affects (organs/systems)
Throat, eyelid, lungs, brain
+/- Dt & acute death
Transmission of VTEC
Sow –> piglets (will affect more than 1 in litter)
Dx of VTEC
Clinical Signs, Culture from fecal, PCR
Tx of VTEC
Affected animals: fasting, antimicrobials
Unaffected: antimicrobials
True/False: Breeding pigs without F18 receptor can help control VTEC
True: Breeding pigs without F18 receptor can help control VTEC
