Abstract excerpt
Average genetic relatedness among 44 Escherichia coli strains of serotypes O1, O2, and O78 isolated mainly from birds with colibacillosis or swollen-head syndrome from France or Saudi Arabia was estimated based on allelic variation detected by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. For 20 enzyme-encoding loci, we resolved 2.8 alleles per locus and distinguished 17 electrophoretic types (ETs) that were used to mark...
