English. Colibacillosis is an important epidemiological and economic issue in poultry farming and breeding. A common problem with avian pathogenic Escherichia coli strains (APEC) that cause this disease is a lack of an uniform identification system, resulting from a variety of serotypes, phylogenetic groups, sequence types and combinations of virulence factors. There are no clearly defined features that can be associated with pathogenicity. Therefore, without precise identification of pathogenic strains and differentiation from commensal strains, there is no possibility of appropriate selection of targeted therapy.
