Complete genomes of 21 avian pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolated from colibacillosis cases in Georgia poultry
ABSTRACT Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) causes colibacillosis in poultry, primarily from serogroups O1, O2, and O78. However, emerging APEC serogroups with unknown genomic characteristics were found. This study reports the complete genomes of 21 APEC strains isolated from colibacillosis cases in Georgia (GPEC), USA poultry.
