In this study, we identified prevalence of virulent phenotypes among diverse ESBL-E. coli lineages from poultry. Particularly, the whole genome sequencing revealed that the broiler E. coli isolates shared affinities with human ExPEC isolates with regard to virulence, resistance, and phylogenetic backgrounds.

A total of 28 ESBL-producing E. coli isolates were analyzed in this study that included; 23 ESBL E. coli isolates that were randomly selected comprising of 11 free-range E. coli and 12 broiler E. coli, which were a part of an earlier described collection of 168 poultry E. coli from retail chicken meat and carcass isolated from three cities representing three states in India during February 2015 – September 2015
