Susceptibility of Gnotobiotic Swine to Escherichia coli Isolated from Nonenteric Human Infections

R C Meyer 1, H E Rhoades 1, J Simon 1
PMCID: PMC380527  PMID: 4557565

Abstract

Newborn, germfree piglets were susceptible to Escherichia coli associated with human, nonenteric infections and should provide a useful model in the study of generalized E. coli infections.
