Bacterial load was determined after death from tissue samples as bacterial titer (CFU/ml of intestine content or CFU/mg of tissue). a Bacteria cultivated form jejunum, ileum and colon. b Bacteria cultivated from mesenteric lymph nodes (LN) and brain. In the case of brains from piglets infected with E. coli O55 preincubated with dg-SIgA only three piglet’s brains were tested for E. coli. None differences among groups were calculated significant.
