Characteristics, pathogenic mechanism, zoonotic potential, drug resistance, and prevention of avian pathogenic (APEC).

Although most () strains are commensal and abundant, certain pathogenic strains cause severe diseases from gastroenteritis to extraintestinal infections. Extraintestinal pathogenic . (ExPEC) contains newborn meningitis .

Isolation, Molecular Characterization, and Antibiotic Resistance of Avian Pathogenic in Eastern China.

Avian pathogenic (APEC) causes colibacillosis in avians, resulting in considerable losses in the poultry industry. APEC showed zoonotic potential initially related to the fact that APEC serves as the reservoir of virulence genes and antibiotic resistance genes for other . Thus, we determine the serotypes, phylogenetic groups, virulence genes distribution, and antibiotic resistance profiles of APEC isolates in eastern China.

Rapid Detection and Differentiating of the Predominant Serovars in Chicken Farm by TaqMan Multiplex Real-Time PCR Assay.

has been known as an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause a variety of diseases in both animals and humans. Poultry are the main reservoir for the serovars Pullorum (. Pullorum), Gallinarum (.

DctR contributes to the virulence of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli through regulation of type III secretion system 2 expression.

Pathogens could precisely alter their gene expression to facilitate their survival and successful infection. The LuxR family transcriptional regulator DctR (also known as YhiF) was shown to participate in the regulation of acid fitness and adhesion of enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) O157:H7.

Characterization of a Broad-Host-Range Lytic Phage SHWT1 Against Multidrug-Resistant and Evaluation of Its Therapeutic Efficacy and .

Inappropriate use of antibiotics has accelerated to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, becoming a major health threat. Moreover, bacterial biofilms contribute to antibiotic resistance and prolonged infections. Bacteriophage (phage) therapy may provide an alternative strategy for controlling multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.
