Abstract

Escherichia coli sfa+ strains isolated from poultry were serotyped and characterized by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). Isolates collected from 12 Brazilian poultry farms mostly belonged to serogroup O6, followed by serogroups O2, O8, O21, O46, O78, O88, O106, O111, and O143. Virulence genes associated were:iuc90%,fim86%neuS60%,hly34%,tsh28%,crl/csg26%,iss26%,pap18%, and 14%cnf. Strains from the same farm presented more than one genotypic pattern belonging to different profiles in AFLP. AFLP showed a clonal relation betweenEscherichia coli sfa+ serogroup O6. The virulence genes found in these strains reveal some similarity with extraintestinalE. coli(ExPEC), thus alerting for potential zoonotic risk.
