Objectives
Human infections with enterohaemorrhagic E. coli can hardly be treated with antibiotics. Research in this project focusses onto an alternative therapeutic approach.
The gnotobiotic piglet model of infection with the German outbreak strain from 2011 O104:H4 will be characterized.
The protective and therapeutic effect of a probiotic E. coli strain producing a recently detected microcin will be tested in a gnotobiotic piglet model during infection with enterohaemorrhagic E. coli.
