Abstract:
1. A method for identifying if a pig is resistant or non-resistant to an E. coli pathogen carrying fimbriae F4ac or F4 ab, the method comprising i) obtaining a sample from said pig, said sample comprising genomic material, ii) detecting in said genetic material the genotype of alleles of a genetic polymorphism indicative of resistance or susceptibility to said iii) determining that said pig is resistant to said iv) determining that said pig is non-resistant to said v) determining that said pig is non-resistant to said wherein the allele of a genetic polymorphism indicative of resistance to ETEC is selected from the group consisting of: G at position 1849 of SEQ ID NO: 8; T at position 2129 of SEQ ID NO: 8; A at position 2997 of SEQ ID NO: 83; and C at position 3277 of SEQ ID NO: 83, and wherein the allele of a genetic polymorphism indicative of non-resistance to ETEC is selected from the group consisting of: C at position 1849 of SEQ ID NO: 8; C at position 2129 of SEQ ID NO: 8; G at position 2997 of SEQ ID NO: 83; and G at position 3277 of SEQ ID NO: 83.
