Key Points

Broiler chicks demonstrate higher susceptibility to avian colibacillosis than layer chicks, highlighting a significant health concern.
Ilux2-APEC was shown to effectively evaluate disease pathogenesis, demonstrating bacterial persistence in the bursa of Fabricius.
Aerosol challenge methodology was used to assess susceptibility and bacterial behavior in both broiler and layer chicks.
The findings suggest a need for targeted interventions in broiler chicks to manage avian colibacillosis risk.

Implication

Aerosol challenge reveals broiler chicks' greater vulnerability to avian colibacillosis, indicating persistent bacterial colonization.

Abstract

Broiler birds as compared to layers are more susceptible to avian colibacillosis.An aerosol challenge using an ilux2-APEC effectively evaluates disease pathogenesis.The ilux2-APEC persistently colonized the bursa of Fabricius after aerosol exposure.
