Avian colibacillosis, caused by strains of avian pathogenicEscherichia coli , is a major bacterial disease of severe economic significance to the poultry industry worldwide. The virulence mechanisms of APEC are not completely understood. This study investigated the influence of an antioxidant protein, SodA, on the phenotype and pathogenicity of APEC O2 strain E058. This is the first report demonstrating that SodA plays an important role in protecting a specific APEC strain against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress and contributes to the virulence of this pathotype strain. Identification of this virulence factor will enhance our knowledge of APEC pathogenic mechanisms, which is crucial for designing successful strategies against associated infections and transmission.
