Avian-pathogenic
Escherichia coli
(APEC) is the causative agent of colibacillosis, a disease that affects all facets of poultry production worldwide, resulting in multimillion dollar losses annually. Here, we report the genome sequence of an APEC O18 sequence type 95 (ST95) strain associated with disease in a chicken.
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is the causative agent of colibacillosis, a disease that affects poultry production worldwide and leads to multimillion-dollar losses annually. Here, we report the genome sequence of APEC O2-211, a sequence type 117 (ST117) strain isolated from a diseased chicken.
vB_EcoM-UFV13, a member of the
T4virus
genus, shows lytic activity against
Escherichia coli
and effectiveness in controlling the biofilm formed by
Trueperella pyogenes
, which qualifies it as a promising component of phage cocktails for mastitis and metritis control.
