## Introduction Oedema disease and post‐weaning diarrhoea (enteric colibacillosis) occur in pigs aged 4–12 weeks, and are responsible for considerable economic losses (B ertschinger et al. 1992). The typical clinical symptoms of oedema disease are neurological signs such as ataxia, convulsions and paralysis. At post‐mortem examination, oedema is typically present at characteristic sites such as eyelids and forehead, stomach wall and mesocolon. The occurrence of these illnesses in the whole population is quite high, about 15%, and the mortality among the sick animals is about 90% (N ielsen 1986). The disease is associated with the colonization of the small intestine with toxigenic __Escherichia coli__ strains of a limited number of serotypes: O138, O139, O141, O147, O157, O16, O108 (B ertschinger et al. 1990; W ittig et al. 1994; R ippinger et al. 1995). It was revealed that __E. coli__ strain 107/86 (serotype: O139:K12), forms fimbriae which adhere __in vitro__ to cells isolated from small intestine epithelium (B ertschinger et al. 1990). Genetic studies revealed that susceptibility to colonization by an __Escherichia coli__ strain with fimbriae F18 is controlled by a dominant alle
