In silico analysis of virulence associated genes in genomes of Escherichia coli strains causing colibacillosis in poultry

Introduction: Colibacillosis – the most common disease of poultry, is caused mainly by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC). However, thus far, no pattern to the molecular basis of the pathogenicity of these bacteria has been established beyond dispute. In this study, genomes of APEC were invest...
