Abstract excerpt
The genetic relatedness and virulence profiles of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli that caused salpingitis and peritonitis in 68 broiler breeders from 21 Danish farms were determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST), pulsed-field-gel-electrophoresis (PFGE), ECOR phylogrouping, and PCR-based virulotyping. Phylogroups A, B1, B2, and D accounted for 19.1%, 5.9%, 52.9%, and 22.1% of the isolates, respectively....
