Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of biofilm-producing avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) isolates from Algerian poultry: associations between antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes.

Abstract excerpt

Avian colibacillosis, caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), represents a major threat to the poultry industry, leading to significant economic losses. This study aimed to characterize selected biofilm-producing APEC strains isolated from diseased chickens in the Tizi-Ouzou region of Algeria and to explore potential associations between antimicrobial resistance and the presence of virulence factors....
