Abstract excerpt
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) poses a threat to poultry and public health due to its ability to cause avian disease, potentially contribute to foodborne illness, and carry antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). Given its ubiquitous nature and capacity to persist in diverse environments, APEC has potential as a marker organism for tracking antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in poultry production systems and...
