In Vitro Effect on Piglet Gut Microbiota and In Vivo Assessment of Newly Isolated Bacteriophages against F18 Enterotoxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (ETEC)

In Vitro Effect on Piglet Gut Microbiota and In Vivo Assessment of Newly Isolated Bacteriophages against F18 Enterotoxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (ETEC)

Enterotoxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (ETEC) causing post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in piglets have a detrimental impact on animal health and economy in pig production. ETEC strains can adhere to the host’s small intestinal epithelial cells using fimbriae such as F4 and F18. Phage therapy...
