Characterization and antimicrobial sensitivity of biofilm producing Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli from broiler chickens and their environment in India.
Abstract:Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is responsible for colibacillosis in poultry. APEC remains a constant problem for the poultry industry, despite the use of antibiotics and disinfectants at farms. The endemicity of APEC in poultry farms is associated with its biofilm forming ability, which is further aggravated by various virulence factors harbored by this pathogen and resistant to multiple drugs which help bacteria to thrive under different environmental conditions. To characterize APEC from affected b… Show more
