Fecal consistency, culture and intestinal lesion scores in trial C comparing relative virulence of B. hyodysenteriae G44 and B. hampsonii. Fecal consistency scores following intragastric inoculation with B. hampsonii strain 30446 or B. hyodysenteriae strain G44 using either 100 or 50 mL inoculation volume. Diarrhea severity is represented by an increasing intensity of green. Fecal culture result was evaluated based on the presence ( +) or absence (−) of strong beta hemolysis. No differences in SD outcome were observed among group.
