avian pathogenic e. coli (apec) is responsible for economic losses in all poultry farms. certain virulence factors have been proposed as a means of controlling apec infections, including some proteins to be used for vaccination. in the study we report here, one of the major virulence factors, the iss (increased serum survival) gene, from e. coli strain χ1378, isolated from poultry colibacillosi...

background: colibacillosis, caused by different serotypes of avian pathogenic escherichia coli (apec), is one of the important diseases in poultry industry. the isolate o78 is the most prevalent serotype of apec in iran. one of the apec virulence factors, increased serum survival (iss) gene, is related to serum resistance. the usual form of colibacillosis in avian is extraintestinal, and serum ...

Introduction: The aim of this research was to study the effect of a 6-week supplemented diet on increasing bone density by measuring calcium, phosphorus and bone mineral density (BMD) in male rats. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 24 Wistar male rats, aged between 15 and 20 days, were selected. The rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: immune system supplement (ISS), ...
