Field veterinary practitioners all over Sweden were invited to submit samples from dairy herds by their own choice, for a case/control study. Case/control pairs of calves should be sampled, comprising one healthy (i. e. no signs of diarrhoea) calf in each control herd (CD-) and one calf with acute diarrhoea in each case herd (CD+). Calves should not have been treated with antimicrobials within two weeks prior to sampling. Samples were obtained from a total of 104 calves. From these, samples from 95 calves, representing 85 dairy herds, were used for laboratory and statistical analyses.

Samples were collected from March 2004 to June 2005. Faecal samples were collected as rectal swabs. Sampled calves should be between one day and four weeks old. Data were collected from the farmers by a questionnaire.
