Virulence-associated genes in Escherichia coli isolates from poultry with colibacillosis: correction.
Several virulence genes of avian Escherichia coli were detected in 200 colibacillosis isolates from our region by PCR. However, the genes sfaDE and facA were not detected in that study. In this work we correct those data, showing by colony hybridization that sfaDE and facA are present in 40% and 30% of those isolates, respectively.
