background: avian pathogenic escherichia coli (apec), which is the causative agent of colibacillosis, harbors several putative virulence genes. an important trait of apec for both poultry and public health is antibiotic resistance. objectives: in the present study, some potential virulence genes of apecs isolated from northeast of iran and their resistance to the quinolones antibiotics were stu...

background: colibacillosis is one of the most prevalentdiseases in the world that causes multimillion-dollar annuallosses. objectives: in order to evaluate molecular epidemiologyof some virulence associated factors in escherichia coli,isolated from poultry, the presence of iut a, iss, hly f, omp t, iron, afa, sfa (s)and pap g (ii) were investigated by multiplex pcrassay. methods: two hundred th...

Escherichia coli (E. coli) infections are very widespread in poultry. However, little is known about the interaction between the intestinal epithelium and E. coli in chickens. Therefore, the effects of avian non-pathogenic and avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) on the intestinal function of broiler chickens were investigated by measuring the electrogenic ion transport across the isolated ...

Colibacillosis, caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), is a significant disease, causing extensive animal and financial losses globally. Because of the significance of this disease, more knowledge is needed regarding APEC's mechanisms of virulence. Here, we present the fully closed genome sequence of a typical avian pathogenic E. coli strain belonging to the serogroup O78.

Escherichia coli causing infection outside the gastrointestinal system are referred to as extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli. Avian pathogenic E. coli is a subgroup of extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli and infections due to avian pathogenic E. coli have major impact on poultry production economy and welfare worldwide. An almost defining characteristic of avian pathogenic E. coli is the carri...

waterborne outbreaks of pathogenic bacteria from contaminated water are serious threats forpublic health. coliform bacteria have been regarded as one of the most important indicators for monitoringpathogenic bacteria. to address potential pathogenic bacterial outbreaks, the distribution and diversity ofcoliform bacteria in jiahe river, which flows through densely-populated urban area in china, ...

We report here the complete genome sequences of two Myoviridae phages that infect various avian-pathogenic Escherichia coli strains and that are closely related to phage phAPEC8.
