Genomic Landscape of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale in Commercial Turkey Production in the United States

Isolation and characterization of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale in the commercial turkey, quail flocks and domestic pigeons by bacteriological and molecular methods

Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) is a respiratory pathogen which has been isolated throughout the world from numerous bird species. The present study was designed to isolate and characterize the ORT from domestic turkeys, quails and pigeons. For this purpose, 250 samples from each bird species (turkey, quail and pigeon) with or without respiratory signs were tested by taking of tracheal...

Characterization of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale Isolates from Commercial Chickens

Ornithohac/erium rhino/rachea/e (ORT) is a relatively rceently diseovered bacterium. which it is associated with respiratory diseases, Tracheal samplcs from carcasses of 100 roultry tlocks submitted to Razi Institute were examined for ORT isolation. Ali these tlocks were affected with respiratory disorders. Colonies of ORT were detected after 24h of incubation and identification of ORT isolates...

Isolation of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale from the brains of commercial broiler breeder chickens with meningitis and encephalitis

Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) has been identified as one of the respiratory bacterial pathogens in turkey and chicken flocks. Four live birds displaying severe torticollis were submitted from a 13-week-old commercial broiler breeder chicken flock located in Mazandaran province. These birds were suspected to pasteurellosis by the farm veterinarian. No other marked gross lesion except ema...

Report on isolation and identification of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale from broiler flocks in İzmir, Turkey Bericht über Isolierung und Identifizierung von Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale aus Masthähnchenherden in İzmir, Türkei

Respiratory disease conditions continue to cause heavy economic losses in the poultry industry. They are usually caused by viral, bacterial, mycotic or parasitic agents and the course of the diseases can be influenced by environmental conditions and management failure (JOUBERT et al., 1999). At the beginning of 90`s bacteriological examinations from turkeys and chickens suffering from respirato...
