Abstract
The present study was carried out to know the incidence, mortality pattern,
gross and microscopic lesions of the E. coli infection in broiler chicken as well as to
know the antibiogram profile and antibiotic resistance gene in E. coli. The study
comprised of epidemiological information in relation to autopsy incidence and farm
wise mortality, gross and histopathological examination of different organs, isolation,
identification, biochemical characterization and molecular detection of E. coli. Further
antibiogram profile and detection of antibiotic resistance genes of E. coli isolates were
carried out.
