EC detection on culture in extraintestinal tissues. Groupwise comparisons were performed per tissue by Fisher’s exact test and post hoc Benjamini‒Hochberg adjustment (α = 0.05). Different superscript letters indicate significant differences between groups per tissue. p ≤ 0.05, n = 86 [noninoculated, thermoneutral (TN)], 88 [noninoculated, heat stress (HS)], 89 [EC-inoculated, thermoneutral (TN + EC)], and 87 [EC-inoculated, heat stress (HS + EC)] for heart, liver, spleen, and in total, n = 40 (TN, HS, and TN + EC), 42 (HS + EC) for free thoracic vertebra (FTV) and femoral heads (FH). FTV and FH were sampled only at 21 and 42 dph.
