In-Feed vs. In-Water Chlortetracycline Administration on the Fecal Prevalence of Virulence Genes and Pathotypes of <i>Escherichia coli</i> Involved in Enteric Colibacillosis in Piglets

In-Feed vs. In-Water Chlortetracycline Administration on the Fecal Prevalence of Virulence Genes and Pathotypes of <i>Escherichia coli</i> Involved in Enteric Colibacillosis in Piglets

Colibacillosis in nursery pigs, caused by <i>Escherichia coli</i> (ETEC, EPEC, and STEC pathotypes), remains a major economic concern in the swine industry. This study evaluated the effects of in-feed or in-water chlortetracycline (CTC) administration on the fecal prevalence of virulence...
