Comprehensive analysis of Escherichia coli in bovine urinary tract infections: serotypes, antibiotic resistance, and virulence gene profiles.

ABSTRACT: Widespread emergence of multidrug-resistant and highly Virulence uro- pathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains pose a significant crisis for both human and animal populations worldwide. Aim of the present study was to characterize Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains isolated from urinary tract infected (UTI) bovines and to understand the distribution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in northern part of India. A cross-sectional study was carried out with sampling 17 randomly selected husbandry setups in 6 districts of Haryana, India. Out of 254 suspected animals from UTI, 105 animals found to be affected with UTI based on clinical examination, routine urine, culture testing and ultrasonography. Among the 105 affected animals, E. coli was isolated from 47 animals turning out to be 44.76% p
