(A) Shedding of E. coli F4+ in an in vivo infection model. Animals were infected orally at the day of weaning as well as the day after weaning with E. coli F4+ (see Materials and Methods), after which faecal shedding was followed with a F4 specific qPCR. Data were log-transformed before analysis by the non-linear equation, see Materials and Methods for further details. (B) Ileal content of family Enterobacteriaceae. Bacteria were enumerated by NGS sequencing of the 16S rDNA gene in ileal samples obtained at necropsy by the end of the experiment. Values are normalized (per 100,000 reads) and log-transformed read counts. Overall ANOVA p-value < 0.001, different letters denote significantly different values.
