Features of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains of porcine origin that express K88 and 987P fimbrial antigens.
Escherichia coli strains of porcine origin express K88 and 987P pilus-antigens in vitro. This study reports their enterotoxin producing ability, serological features and plasmid content. The bipiliated strains were enterotoxigenic and all contained a large plasmid of uniform size.
