Characterization of Escherichia Phage ND-4 Against Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli IMT5155 and Its Preliminary Application in Chicks
Colibacillosis caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) remains an important bacterial disease in poultry production and is increasingly difficult to control because of antimicrobial resistance. In this study, a lytic phage, ND-4, was isolated from poultry-farm sewage using the O2:K1 APEC strain IMT5155 as th...
