Whole-genome analysis of five Escherichia coli strains isolated from focal duodenal necrosis in laying hens reveals genetic similarities to the E. coli O25:H4 ST131 strain

Whole-genome analysis of five Escherichia coli strains isolated from focal duodenal necrosis in laying hens reveals genetic similarities to the E. coli O25:H4 ST131 strain

ABSTRACT Focal duodenal necrosis (FDN) is an intestinal disease causing significant economic losses in the table-egg industry due to reduced egg production in laying hens. Its etiology and pathogenesis remain poorly understood. Between 2021 and 2023, 111 Escherichia coli isolates were collected from...
