Journal of Neurobiology and PhysiologyBacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) is a leading cause of lameness in broiler chickens, which results in financial losses due to mortality and reduced growth. Due to the nature of the condition, it raises animal welfare and food safety concerns as well.

Avian Pathology, 2018 The pheno- and genotypic relatedness among Escherichia coli isolates from broilers with and without macroscopic lesions of the femoral head were investigated. In total, 219 isolates obtained from the bone marrow were characterized by serotyping, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles, phylogenetic grouping, detection of virulence-associated genes ...
