METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF PIGS GENETICALLY RESISTANT TO DISEASES RELATED TO E. COLI F18.

摘要

Method for identifying a pig that is resistant to intestinal colonization by E. coli F18 or to intestinal disorders associated with E. coli F18, said method comprising a. determine in a biological sample from the pig whether the only nitrogen base at position 307 of the pig alpha (1,2) fucosyltransferase 1 gene is adenine; e b. Identify the pig as resistant if the only nitrogen base at position 307 is adenine.
