Nucleotide sequence variants, gene expression and serum profile of immune and antioxidant markers associated with bacterial diarrhea susceptibility in Barki lambs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the fact that diarrhea is more accurately described as a clinical symptom than a disease. Diarrhea is one of the most important issues in ovine medicine, particularly in lambs, and because of high morbidity and mortality rate, sluggish growth performance, and veterinary costs, it is believed to be a major source of economic loss. Salmonella and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli are the most common and commercially significant agents responsible for diarrhea.

Objective

The objective of this study was to monitor the nucleotide sequence variations, gene expression, serum inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers in diarrheic lambs. Another aim was to identify different pathotypes and virulence genes of Salmonella and E. coli causing diarrhea.
