E. coli continues to influence poultry health
Infections with E. coli persists as a worldwide problem
responsible for extensive financial loss attributed to a number of clinical
syndromes. E. coli functions as a secondary opportunist organism affecting
flocks that are immuno-suppressed. Incident outbreaks occur following exposure
to primary respiratory pathogens responsible for lentogenic Newcastle diseases,
metapneumovirus infections and avian bronchitis, especially when coupled with
environmental stress.
