- The study examined the impact of Escherichia coli-induced cellulitis on Danish broiler production from 2014 to 2016, highlighting significant economic and welfare concerns.
- Researchers analyzed 13 flocks with high condemnation rates, collecting 398 samples from both slaughterhouses and farms, leading to a detailed investigation of E. coli isolates.
- A dominant strain (ST117) was identified as the primary cause of cellulitis across all flocks, with genetic sequencing revealing factors that help E. coli adhere to host cells.
