This cross-sectional study evaluated its prevalence, genotypes, antibiotic resistance, and pathogenicity in commercial poultry across nine Indian states. A total of 191 bone samples from suspected cases were cultured and confirmed by biochemical tests and PCR. Forty-eight isolates were identified and genotyped. Antibiotic sensitivity testing (Kirby-Bauer method) showed 100% susceptibility to enrofloxacin, co-trimoxazole, and chloramphenicol, while ampicillin, amoxycillin, and gentamicin showed 87.5% susceptibility. Pathogenicity testing in SPF chickens reproduced typical fowl cholera lesions, and the organism was re-isolated from infected birds. Genotyping revealed LPS genotype-1 (34), genotype-3 (6), genotype-4 (1), and genotype-5 (7). The study also detected co-infections with ALV, MG, and CAV using PCR. Co-infections increased disease severity, respiratory distress, immunosuppression, and mortality. Findings highlight emerging multidrug resistance and emphasize biosecurity, vaccination, and early diagnosis for effective control in Indian poultry systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LAP Lambert Academic Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47776381796503,"sku":"9786209615351","price":8283.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786209615351.webp?v=1777995909","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/p-multocida-in-india-isolation-resistance-and-co-infection-dynamics-9786209615351","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
