Abstract :
Avian colibacillosis, caused by
Escherichia coli, is one of the major
bacterial diseasesbacterial diseasesSubject Category: Diseases, Disorders, and Symptoms
see more details in the poultry industry worldwide, and along with
salmonellosissalmonellosisSubject Category: Diseases, Disorders, and Symptoms
see more details, it is the most common avian disease communicable to humans. The organism is a normal inhabitant of the intestinal tract of

E. coli (APEC), however, could spread to various internal organs and cause colibacillosis characterized by fatal systemic disease. Faeco-oral route is the main mode of infection, though

E. coli infection affect the absorption of sodium as well as chloride and water balance ultimately producing watery diarrhea and death. APEC isolates also are of potential concern for

DiagnosisdiagnosisSubject Category: Techniques, Methodologies and Equipment
see more details is based on isolation and growth characteristics of the organism in wide variety of bacteriological media, biochemical tests, serological assays, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (
ELISAelisaSubject Category: Techniques, Methodologies and Equipment

The disease must be differentiated from a wide variety of other bacterial diseases. Antibiotic sensitivity test is useful to select proper antibiotic but plasmid mediated resistance do occur for which vitamin as well as probiotic and bacteriophage therapy are gaining much attention nowadays. Live and inactivated mutant vaccines are available. Proper hygiene and sanitation along with good hatchery management are the prerequisites to prevent the occurrence of disease. Different disease manifestations caused by APEC, insights into this economically important avian pathogen, epidemiology, trends and advances in diagnosis, prevention and control, novel and emerging therapeutic regimens, and the associated public health concerns envisage the topic of discussion in the present review.
