Expression of Mucin-Type Glycoprotein K88 Receptors Strongly Correlates with Piglet Susceptibility to K88(+) Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, but Adhesion of This Bacterium to Brush Borders Does Not

Three antigenic variants of the K88 fimbrial adhesin exist in nature, K88ab, K88ac, and K88ad. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains that produce these fimbriae cause life-threatening diarrhea in some but not all young pigs. The susceptibility of pigs to these organisms has been correlated...
