Neonatal diarrhea
Neonatal diarrhea
The most common E. coli pathogroup in young ruminants (like calves and lambs) that causes diarrhea without affecting the bloodstream.
Neonatal diarrhea with septicemia
Neonatal diarrhea with septicemia
The E. coli pathogroup in young ruminants (like calves and lambs) that causes diarrhea and can also lead to a dangerous blood infection (septicemia).
Neonatal diarrhea is more common than neonatal diarrhea with septicemia
Neonatal diarrhea is more common than neonatal diarrhea with septicemia
The E. coli type that causes diarrhea with septicemia is actually less common than the one that causes only diarrhea.

Study Notes
Pathogenesis of ETEC in Calves and Lambs
- Equilibrium between immunity and infection pressure influences ETEC development.
- Insufficient or delayed colostrum intake (low antibody levels) increases susceptibility.
- Early, high-pressure infections contribute to disease.
E. Coli Pathogroup (Neonatal Diarrhea)
- Diarrhea typically appears in the first week of life.
- Fecal consistency varies from pasty to watery, with a foul odor.
- Color ranges from pale yellow-white to occasionally containing flecks of blood.
- Significant fluid loss leads to rapid weight loss (within 6-8 hours).
- Histological examination of the intestinal mucosa usually shows no abnormalities.
