Fig. 1From: Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 administration improves the intestinal health and immunity in neonatal piglets infected by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88Effect of E. faecium on fecal score of piglets challenged with ETEC K88. Values are means, with their standard errors represented by vertical bars (n = 8). CON-ETEC, control group infusing the essential medium; CON+ETEC, control group infusing the Escherichia coli; PRO-ETEC, Enterococcus faecium-supplemented group infusing the essential medium; PRO+ETEC, Enterococcus faecium-supplemented group infusing the Escherichia coli. Fecal score: 0, normal; 1, pasty; 2, semiliquid; and 3, liquid. Time, hours after ETEC challenge. a, b Means in the same time with different superscripts are significantly different (P < 0.05)Back to article page
