文摘
- •
A bioluminescent strain of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) was developed.
- •
In vitro correlations were found between luminescence and number of bacteria.
- •
Ex vivo luminescence was correlated with the number of bacteria in tissues of chickens.
- •
Bioluminescent labelling was useful for differentiation and identification of the infecting APEC strain.
- •
The luminescent strain can be used to monitor colibacillosis and treatment effects.
