Rabbit colibacillosis is infrequent or with an incipient description in Chile. Here, we describe an <em>E. coli</em> case in a white New Zealand rabbit at an animal facility in Santiago, Chile. Necropsy, histology, bacteriology, and 16S sequencing indicated an <em>E. coli</em> systemic infection. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that this <em>E. coli</em> J305 isolate is closely related to <em>Shigella</em> spp.</p> ER -
