Abstract
An intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli isolate from calf diarrhea, containing the iutA, f17A, afa-8D, and cnf2 genes, was able to cause avian colibacillosis after experimental infection in chickens. Intra-tracheal inoculation and spray of this strain caused 10% of mortality and gross lesions, including airsacculitis, pericarditis, and perihepatitis. These results suggest that some bovine pathogenic E. coli can cause extra-intestinal infections in other animal species.
