| Description: |
Ten percent of beef and dairy calves are lost each year to scours. One of the most important infectious cause of scours in young calves are enteropathogenic Escherichia coli which carry K99+ pili. Fortunately, immunoprophylaxis has been shown to be effective to reduce the severity of scours caused by enteropathogenic E. coli. Nevertheless, because of the sporadic nature of outbreaks, the expense of vaccines and oral antibodies may not be justified without a specific etiologic diagnosis of K99+ E. coli. K99 Pilitest is a sensitive latex agglutination test for the presence of K99+ E. coli in stools of diarrhetic calves. It may also be used for detection of K99+ E. coli grown on solid or liquid medium. The agglutination reaction takes less than 3 minutes and the entire test including sample preparation can be performed in 10 minutes or less. |
