DOI: Insights into Avian Health: Virulence Factors and Characterization of Sorbitol-Negative Escherichia coli Isolates from Quail
Khusnan Prihtiyantoro , Yogyakarta Brahmaputra Animal Husbandry Academy, Jl. Ki Ageng Archery Nitikan Sorosutan Umbulharjo Yogyakarta, IndonesianAbstract
This research delves into the virulence factors of Sorbitol-Negative Escherichia coli (SNEC) strains isolated from quail, shedding light on the potential threats to avian health. Through comprehensive characterization, including genetic, phenotypic, and pathogenic assessments, we aim to elucidate the virulence mechanisms of SNEC in quail. The study provides valuable insights into the molecular attributes contributing to the pathogenicity of these isolates, thereby enhancing our understanding of avian health and informing strategies for effective disease management.
