Percentage of fecal presence of the gene encoding LT enterotoxin in weaned pigs challenged or not with ETEC: F4. Challenge was performed at d0 and treatment with colistin sulfate at the dose of 50,000 IU/kg was started at d1 (24 h post challenge) and administered twice daily for 5 days. At d4 a significant reduction in the fecal presence of the gene encoding LT was found in the challenged treated group compared to the challenged untreated group (p < 0.0001). The percentage was calculated by dividing the number of positive pigs by the total number of pigs in each group
