Enterotoxigenic  Escherichia coli  (ETEC) is a leading cause of infectious diarrhea in children and postweaning piglets. ETEC infection results in induced pro-inflammatory responses in intestinal epithelial cells and dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota. Here, a  Lactobacillus reuteri  strain, HCM2, isolated from a healthy piglet showed a high survival rate in the harsh gastrointestinal tract environment and inhibited the growth of ETEC and its adherence to intestinal epithelial cells. Pre-supplementation with  L .  reuteri  HCM2 for 14 days reduced the ETEC load in the jejunum of ETEC-infected mice and prevented the disruption of intestinal morphology by ETEC. The colonic microbiota of mice with or without HCM2 pre-supplementation were analyzed, and this analysis revealed that HCM2 could prevent dysbiosis caused by ETEC infection by stabilizing the relative abundance of dominant bacteria. These results indicate that  L .  reuteri  HCM2 has the potential to attenuate the effect of ETEC on the colonic microbiota in infected mice.
