Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), a subset of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC), are the etiologic agent of avian colibacillosis, one of the main causes of economic losses in the poultry industry. The aim of this study was to characterize E. coli isolated from diseased chickens in Senegal to elucidate their virulence potential and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). A total of 58 isolates, each from a separate farm, were characterized for AMR, virulence, and AMR genes, phylogroup, serogroup, biofilm formation, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and for two isolates, whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Fifty isolates (86.2%) were multidrug resistant. Many AMR genes were detected, including variants of blaCTX-M encoding resistance to third-generation cephalosporins (five isolates [8.6%]). Most fluoroquinolone-nonsusceptible isolates (21/26) were carriers of mutations in gyrA (Ser83Leu, Asp87Asn, and/or Asp87Tyr) and/or parC (Ser80Ile) genes. Forty-nine (84.5%) isolates exhibited at least one of the virulence markers of APEC, among which 23 (39.7%) were defined as potential virulent APEC. In addition, 10 isolates, of which 9 were defined as APEC, carried virulence profiles corresponding to ExPEC. Seven isolates, of which six were classified as ExPEC, belonged to phylo-serogroup F-O25, and following WGS of two of these isolates, were found to belong to the serotype O25:H1 and to the sequence type ST624. Some isolates classified as ExPEC, including F-O25, were found to strongly produce biofilm, suggesting their capability to persist for long time in the environment. F-O25-isolates, although found in different widely separated farms, formed a single cluster that included clones, suggesting that these isolates may have originated from a common source. Taken together, these results suggest that some E. coli involved in chicken colibacillosis in Senegal may pose a human health risk.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
