Biocontrol potential and genomic analysis of novel lytic bacteriophage CABI-SEA 2302 against multidrug-resistant avian pathogenic Escherichia coli associated with colibacillosis
Multidrug-resistant avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (MDR-APEC) causes critically high first-week mortality in chickens, resulting in substantial economic losses in the global poultry industry. This study aimed to isolate and characterize a novel bacteriophage as an effective safe alternative for the control of coliba...
