Abstract excerpt
The pheno- and genotypic relatedness among Escherichia coli isolates from broilers with and without macroscopic lesions of the femoral head were investigated. In total, 219 isolates obtained from the bone marrow were characterized by serotyping, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles, phylogenetic grouping, detection of virulence-associated genes (VAGs) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Serotyping...
