Summary of in vivo findings.

Piglet group^a	Diarrhea	Gut lesions^a	Central nervous system involvement		Bacterial count^c	Toxin level^d
			Symptoms	Lesions
			1 (n = 15)	15			15	15	13 (87)	118.0 ± 21.9	0.745 (0.390–1.024)
2 (n = 16)	16	1	16	14 (88)	1.8 ± 1.4	0.066 (0.000–8.691)
3 (n = 11)	11	1	2	4 (36)	22.8 ± 6.0	0.108 (0.034–0.193)

NOTE. Data are no. (%) of piglets, unless otherwise indicated.

Group 1 piglets were infected with strain 86-24 only, group 2 piglets were infected with strain 86-24 and treated with ciprofloxacin, and group 3 piglets were infected with strain 86-24 and treated with azithromycin.

Gut lesions were caused by bacterial attachment-effacement to enterocytes and colonocytes.

Data are mean ± SE values given in 1 × 10⁸ cfu/mL.

Data are median (interquartile range) values given in µg/mL.
