Description
INTRODUCTION Escherichia coli is one of the common microbial flora of gastrointestinal tract of poultry and human being including other animals but may become pathogenic to both (1),(2). Although most isolates of E. coli are nonpathogenic but they are considered as indicator of fecal contamination in food and about 10-15 % of intestinal coliforms are opportunistic and pathogenic serotypes (3) and cause a variety of lesions in immunocompromised hosts as well as in poultry. Among the diseases some are often severe and sometimes lethal infections such as meningitis, endocarditis, urinary tract infection, septicemia, epidemic diarrhea of adults and children (4) and yolk sac infection, omphalitis, cellulitis, swollen head syndrome, coligranuloma, and colibacillosis (5). During the past two decades, severe outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness have occurred by food borne pathogenic E. coli, especially 0157:H7 (6).
