Piliation, hemagglutination, motility, and generation time of Escherichia coli that are virulent or avirulent for turkeys

Ten Escherichia coli strains were tested for piliation, hemagglutination, motility, generation time, and virulence for turkeys. Most E. coli strains that were virulent for turkey poults were piliated and motile when cultured in vitro. D-mannose-sensitive agglutination of turkey erythrocytes correlat...

Description
Summary:Ten Escherichia coli strains were tested for piliation, hemagglutination, motility, generation time, and virulence for turkeys. Most E. coli strains that were virulent for turkey poults were piliated and motile when cultured in vitro. D-mannose-sensitive agglutination of turkey erythrocytes correlated with the production of pili.
