The Isolation and Characterization of Bacteriophages Infecting Avian Pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> O1, O2 and O78 Strains

Avian pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (APEC), such as O1, O2 and O78, are important serogroups relating to chicken health, being responsible for colibacillosis. In this study, we isolated and characterized bacteriophages (phages) from hen feces and human sewage in Alberta with the pot...
