Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Elizabeth M. Due's research investigates host-pathogen interactions, focusing on the susceptibility of pigs to enterotoxigenic *Escherichia coli* (ETEC) infections. Her work examines genetic factors, such as the *FUT1* gene polymorphism, that influence how pigs respond to F18 ETEC strains. This research includes evaluating the impact of ETEC attachment on intestinal function, signaling pathways like Notch and Wnt, and overall disease onset in nursery pigs. Additionally, her studies explore interventions to mitigate ETEC effects, including the use of pharmacological zinc oxide to reduce bacterial attachment. Other areas of her research involve evaluating dietary strategies, such as standardized ileal digestible lysine levels for lactating sows and the impact of dietary fibers on gut microbiota and volatile fatty acid production in pigs, as well as assessing management practices like split suckling on piglet growth and mortality.
