Lung APEC (Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli) refers to a specific strain of E. coli that primarily affects poultry, causing respiratory infections and contributing to diseases like colibacillosis. This bacterium can lead to significant economic losses in the poultry industry due to increased mortality and reduced productivity. It is characterized by its ability to invade and damage lung tissues, making it a critical concern for avian health and management practices. Proper biosecurity and vaccination strategies are essential to control its spread.
