Identification of Virulence Genes and Antibiotic Resistance in Extraintestinal Pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolated from Broiler Carcasses Using MALDI-TOF MS

<i>Escherichia coli</i> contamination in poultry is a significant concern due to its potential to cause foodborne illness. The presence of extraintestinal pathogenic <i>E. coli</i> (ExPEC) strains in chicken carcasses can lead to severe human infections. This study investigat...
