Effects of age, ambient temperature, and heat-stable Escherichia coli enterotoxin on intestinal transit in infant mice.

abstract：:Infection with highly pathogenic Streptococcus suis can cause septic shock, which is characterized by high levels of inflammatory cytokines and a high mortality rate. Our previous study indicated that TREM-1 (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1) was upregulated in swine spleen cells in response to S. suis...
