				 This study aimed to determine the impact of a feed supplement administration on E. coli virulent strains in piglets. A breeding of four batches of two piglets was carried out. Batch A served as controls and batches B, C and D were administered respectively with Algo-Bio®, tetracycline and penicillin-streptomycin combination therapy. E. coli strains
  were isolated from faeces on Mac Conkey medium, and identify them. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed
  using disk diffusion method on Müller-Hinton agar, and then virulence genes were determined by PCR. Antibiotic
  susceptibility test revealed 58 E.coli ESBL-producing strains. Serotyping of these strains showed O128 (36.2%),
  O111 (20.6%), O119 (18.9%), O124 (15.5%) and O125 (8.6%). The prevalence of strains harboring eaeA, Stx2, st and lt .. View More»
