Abstract
Colibacillosis is a disease found in poultry that results in various levels of morbidity and mortality. It is primarily caused by pathogenic strains of E. coli that inhabit the poults’ intestinal tracts. Antibiotics have frequently been used to protect the turkeys but with less and less effectiveness as the bacteria have begun to develop antibiotic resistance. Hence alternate ways are needed to combat pathogenic bacteria.
