Presented are dates for the prevalence of these diseases in recent years in our country and enriched knowledge for the contemporary methods of laboratory diagnostics, with such as the use of biochemical kits and systems for identification, different methods of ELISA, PCR and others. In the part of control of bacterial enteritis are included many and actual dates from investigation on susceptibility of pathogenic strains to available antimicrobial means and the possibility for effective methods and schemes for therapy and methaphylaxis of caused from them enteritis in weaned and growing pigs.
