Evolution of Pig Fecal Microbiota Composition and Diversity in Response to Enterotoxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> Infection and Colistin Treatment in Weaned Piglets

Evolution of Pig Fecal Microbiota Composition and Diversity in Response to Enterotoxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> Infection and Colistin Treatment in Weaned Piglets

The intestinal microbiota plays several important roles in pig health and growth. The aim of the current study was to characterize the changes in the fecal microbiota diversity and composition of weaned piglets following an oral challenge with an ETEC: F4 strain and/or a treatment with colistin sulf...
