Segregation at the loci coding for the K88ab and K88ac small intestinal receptors to E. coli adhesins (K88abR, K88acR) and at the transferrin (TF) locus was studied in 38 pig families including 273 piglets. The TF locus showed a segregation deviation towards the B variant while each of the K88 receptors behaved as a single autosomal dominant gene. Recombinants between K88abR and K88acR provide evidence that they are under the control of two different loci. Thirty-two triple backcross families were selected to test linkage and estimate recombination rates (theta). Our results demonstrate that the two K88 receptor loci are closely linked (theta = 0.02) with a maximum lod score value (Zm) of 46.0. In addition, they are linked to the TF locus, theta = 0.14, Zm = 19.6 for the K88abR locus and theta = 0.16, Zm = 17.9 for the K88acR locus. The estimated recombination rates, smaller in males than in females, are consistent with the order TF-K88abR-K88acR. This linkage thus localizes the K88 loci, as the TF locus, on chromosome 13.

Salmonella Typhimurium ghost cells expressing K88ab, K88ac, K99, and FasA fimbriae of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in their envelopes were constructed. The genes encoding the fimbriae were individually cloned into an expression plasmid, pMMP81, carrying the asd gene, which was subsequently electroporated into the Δasd S. Typhimurium mutant.

Background: Bacterial ghosts can be developed as safe and effective vaccines against bacterial infectious disease such as enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC)-induced diarrhea in neonatal piglets.
Objective: Immune responses against a Salmonella ghost expressing ETEC K88ab, K88ac, K99, and FasA antigens with various adjuvants and inoculation routes were evaluated in mice.
Animals And Methods: A ghost cell expressing K88ab, K88ac, K99, and FasA fimbrial antigens of ETEC on the envelope of △asd Salmonella typhimurium was constructed as a candidate vaccine against ETEC infection.

In this study, a comparative evaluation between a Salmonella ghost vaccine expressing enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) fimbrial antigens and a commercial ETEC vaccine was conducted in neonatal piglets. Genes encoding the ETEC K88ab, K88ac, K99, FasA, and F41 fimbrial proteins were individually cloned into an expression/ghost plasmid (pJHLP184) carrying the pBR origin, asd, the ompA signal sequence to direct antigens to the cell membrane, cI857/λPR promoter, araC ParaBAD, and the phiX174 lysis gene E. Individual clones were subsequently used to electroporate a Δasd S.

In the present study, we examined the adherence of indigenous vaginal bacteria, probiotic strains, and metritis pathogens to mucus collected from different parts of the reproductive tracts of heifers and cows and compared their adherence with the bacterial adherence to mucus collected from the stomach and large intestine of pigs. Most of the vaginal strains adhered to mucus collected from different parts of the reproductive tract and strongly adhered to gastric mucus, with the exception of Lactobacillus buchneri 24S8. Only Lactobacillus mucosae 29S8, Enterococcus faecium E21, and E.

In order to construct a novel vaccine candidate for preventing post-weaning diarrhea in swine, the individual genes for Escherichia coli K88ab, K88ac, FedA, and FedF fimbriae were inserted into a secretion plasmid pBP244 containing asd, lepB, secA, and secB. These were transformed into Salmonella Typhimurium Δlon ΔcpxR Δasd. Secretion of the individual recombinant fimbrial antigens was confirmed by immunoblot analysis.
