Molecular epidemiology reveals distinct lineages and genomic profiles of avian pathogenic and commensal Escherichia coli in broiler flocks
{{output}}
Escherichia coli is predominantly an intestinal commensal; however, avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) causes colibacillosis in poultry. The APEC pathotype lacks a clear genetic definition, further complicated by its opportunistic nature. To compare the genomic c... ...
