ABSTRACT

Twelve Escherichia coli isolates from colibacillosis cases of chickens were investigated for
the presence of genes encoding ‘curli adhesin (crl and csgA) by polymerase chain reaction using
two different sets of primers. The results showed the presence of crl gene in 7 isolates and csgA
gene in 5 isolates out of 12 isolates tested. Curli genes were ubiquitous among E.coli. Further,
Almost all the 12 isolates having curli genes were found to have haemagglutination (HA) ability
suggesting possible role of curli adhesin to mediate heamagglutination and enhancing pathogenecity process.
