Part Description

LP19615-1   Escherichia coli K88
The K88 adhesin is one of the virulence factors associated with post weaning diarrhea (PWD) in swine and is encoded by multiple genes. PMID: 22081385(http://vri.cz/docs/vetmed/46-2-46.pdf) Escherichia coli (EC) is a gram-negative, flagellated, rod-shaped bacterium that is composed of a stable core set of genes, and another more fluid set of genes that includes the virulence genes. These virulence genes increase the pathogenicity of EC and encode heat-stable and heat-labile enterotoxins, Shiga toxin 2e, and fimbria, including the F4 fimbria (also known as K88). The virulence genes can be transferred laterally between dividing EC. PMID: 7021219https://vetmed.iastate.edu/vdpam/FSVD/swine/index-diseases/colibacillosis E. coli infection in pigs causes post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) which leads to watery diarrhea, dehydration, loss of body weight, and occasionally death. EC adheres to the small intestine using adhesin factors, and produces one or more exotoxins that induce fluid and electrolyte secretion. PMID: 7648523 Source: Regenstrief LOINC
