Virulence Profiles, Phylogenetic Background, and Antibiotic Resistance of<i>Escherichia coli</i>Isolated from Turkeys with Airsacculitis
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) has been studied for decades because of its economic impact on the poultry industry. Recently, the zoonotic potential of APEC and multidrug-resistant strains have emerged. The aim of this study was to characterize 225 APEC isolated from turkeys presenting airsacculitis. The results showed that 92% of strains presented a multidrug-resistance (MDR), and the highest levels of...
