Draft genome of a Brazilian avian-pathogenic Escherichia coli strain and in silico characterization of virulence-related genes

J Bacteriol. 2012 Jun;194(11):3023. doi: 10.1128/JB.00394-12.

Abstract

Avian-pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) strains cause extraintestinal diseases in avian species. Here, we present the draft genome of an APEC strain (SCI-07) from Brazil that was isolated from skin lesions (gelatinous edema) on the head and periorbital tissues of a laying hen with swollen head syndrome.
