Abstract
Colibacillosis, caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), is a significant disease, causing extensive animal and financial losses globally. Because of the significance of this disease, more knowledge is needed regarding APEC's mechanisms of virulence. Here, we present the fully closed genome sequence of a typical avian pathogenic E. coli strain belonging to the serogroup O78.

Studies into APEC pathogenesis would be enhanced by public access to high-quality genomic sequences
APEC O78 is an O78 strain isolated from the lung of a turkey clinically diagnosed with colibacillosis
Summary
Colibacillosis, caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), is a significant disease, causing extensive animal and financial losses globally. Colibacillosis, caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), is one of the most significant infectious diseases affecting poultry [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. Poultry colibacillosis takes many forms, with systemic forms occurring most often [2].
