Fusarium mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON) frequently contaminate pig diets, often co-occurring with others like T-2 toxin. These toxins weaken intestinal barrier, raising infection risks. This study explores their effects on Streptococcus suis translocation using organoid models. Fusarium mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON) commonly contaminate most pig diets (88%), often co-contaminating with other mycotoxins. For example, DON and T-2 toxin co-contamination is expected in 45% of g
