چکیده
The Gram-negative, pleomorphic, rod-shaped bacterium Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale is a cause of pneumonia and airsacculitis in poultry. It is a member of the family Flavobacteriaceae of the phylum "Bacteroidetes". O. rhinotracheale strain H06-030791 was isolated from the lung of a turkey in North Carolina in 2006. Its genome consists of a circular chromosome of 2,319,034 bp in length with a total of 2243 protein-coding genes and nine RNA genes. Genome sequences are available for two additional strains of O. rhinotracheale, isolated in 1988 and 1995, the latter described in a companion genome report in this issue of SIGS. The genome sequence of O. rhinotracheale strain H06-030791, a more contemporary isolate, will be of value in establishing core and pan-genomes for O. rhinotracheale and elucidating its evolutionary history.

متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale isolated from broiler chickens in Turkey
Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of eight antimicrobial agents were tested for 11 Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale isolates and for one type strain. Of the eight antibiotics examined, oxytetracycline was the most active antibiotic with MIC ranges of < or = 0.125 1 μg/ml for O. rhinotracheale isolates. All isolates were resistant to gentamicin and neomycin. Resistance to doxycycline occur...
متن کاملMolecular and phylogenetic characterization of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale isolates from turkey, quail, partridge and domestic pigeon in Iran
Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) is a respiratory pathogen which has been isolated throughout the world from numerous bird species. The present study was designed to investigate molecular and phylogenetic characterization of ORT isolates from turkey, quail, partridge and domestic pigeon. For this purpose, one bacterial strain from each bird species which was isolated in a previous work was...
متن کاملExperimental infection in turkeys and chickens with Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale.
Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale was found to cause growth retardation in both turkeys and chickens after experimental intra-air sac administration and to cause growth retardation together with airsacculitis and pneumonia after aerosol administration. Both turkey and chicken isolates of O. rhinotracheale were able to induce the same kind of respiratory inflammations and weight-gain losses in chi...
متن کاملSuccessful selection of cross-protective vaccine candidates for Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale infection.
Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale is a bacterial pathogen known for causing respiratory disease in poultry. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that cross-protective immunity against different O. rhinotracheale serotypes can be induced by live vaccination. Sera from these live-vaccinated and cross-protected birds were used to identify new vaccine targets by screening an O. rhinotrach...
