Zusammenfassung:The invention pertains to a method for determining the risk of an Avian Pathogenic E. coli (APEC) infection in an avian flock, the method comprising determining the quantitative ratios of the amount of specific virulence factors (VF), each with respect to the amount of E. coli reference gene is ybbW (SEQ ID NO: 6) or functional fragments thereof, in a pooled sample deriving from the avian flock, wherein the specific virulence factors include at least the genes iroN (SEQ ID NO.: 1) and ompT (SEQ ID NO: 2) or functional fragments thereof.
