Recovery of E. coli 345-2RifC(pVE46) (squares), E. coli L5 (diamonds), E. coli 345-2RifC(RP1) (triangles) and E. coli P2 (circles) from pig faeces following oral inoculation of six animals. There was statistically no difference in recovery levels between 345-2RifC(pVE46) and L5 (ANOVA 0.5628, p = 0.4546). However, P2 was recovered significantly more frequently than 345-2RifC(RP1) (ANOVA 15.3169, p = 0.0002).
