Complete genomes of five Escherichia coli isolated from focal duodenal necrosis lesions of layer chickens

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Focal duodenal necrosis (FDN) is an easily overlooked but significant disease of table-egg layers, resulting in reduced egg production. However, the etiology of FDN is poorly understood. Here, we report the complete genomes of five E. coli strains isolated from the FDN lesions of laying flocks.
