Detection of virulence genes and the phylogenetic groups of Escherichia coli isolated from dogs in Brazil
ABSTRACT: This study identified the virulence genes, pathovars, and phylogenetic groups of Escherichia coli strains obtained from the feces of dogs with and without diarrhea.Virulence genes and Ear Health phylogenetic group identification were studied using polymerase chain reaction.Thirty-seven E.coli isolates were positive for at least one virule
