Overview

Whole-genome sequencing identifies virulence factors in ESBL producing Escherichia coli from turkeys, suggesting zoonotic risks in food production.

Key Points

  • The isolates exhibited diverse virulence factors linked to extended-spectrum β-lactamase production, posing zoonotic risks.
  • Notably, serine protease autotransporters were frequently detected among the virulence factors identified.
  • Assessment through whole-genome sequencing and functional annotation unveiled a complex virulence landscape.
  • These findings underscore the importance of surveillance and control strategies in poultry systems to mitigate infection risks.
