Introduction

Colibacillosis (ko″lĭbas″ĭ-lo´sis) [1] is a broad term that refers to any infection caused entirely, or partially, by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC). [2] These infections include colisepticemia, coligranuloma, veneral colibacillosis, coliform cellulitis, peritonitis, salpingitis, orchitis and enteritis, among others. [2][5] In mammals, colibacillosis is usually a primary intestinal or urinary tract infection, while colibacillosis in poultry is usually a secondary disease that occurs when the host’s immune system has become overwhelmed with virulent E.coli strains. [2][3]

Colibacillosis is a common disease that is seen worldwide and is of significant economic importance concerning the loss of livestock. [2][4][5] It is the most common infectious bacterial disease of poultry [2] and is seen in cattle [12], pigs [9], goats [13], and other mammals as well. Current research is being done to see if colibacillosis is a public health concern for humans and how antibiotic resistance is affecting the development of a widespread treatment. [2]
