Research note: Prevalence and genetic characteristics of pathogenic E. coli isolates from domestic pigeons in central China
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: (58/60), dfrA (57/60) and sul2 (53/60). Virulence gene analysis revealed five different iron uptake systems in these strains, and all the O166 serotype strains contained three iron uptake systems. In addition, diarrhoeagenic E. coli-associated gene eaeH was detected in 96.67 % of the pathogenic isolates, highlighting their foodborne threat. Overall, this study extends our knowledge of the epidemiology of pathogenic E. coli in domestic pigeons.
