Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To determine the effects of swarming motility (SM) and multi-locus sequence types (MLST) on the main effect of virulence genotype of Escherichia coli through an embryos lethality assay between the 12th and 18th days of incubation. METHODS AND RESULTS: We collected 58 E. coli isolates from asymptomatic commercial hens (n = 42) and lesions of colibacillosis cases (n = 16), then classified their virulence...
