Characterization of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale Isolates from Commercial Chickens

چکیده
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 were carried out based on the biochemical and serologie al charaeteristics. Fitiy-nine isolates From broilers, broiler breeders, and layer Ilocks were idcntilied as ORT and analyzed for serotyping. The isolates were identified as serotype A. using standard • antisera againsl ORT anligens in rapid slide agglutination, agar gel precipitation and immunodot tests. The identification of the species was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of whole cell proteins. High similarity ofprotein profiles of the isolates was observed. These preliminary results establish that ORT serotype A is associated with outbreaks ofrespiratory diseases in commercial poultry.

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...

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...

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...

A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2008 to July 2010 in commercial broiler flocks in southern (n = 50) and northern (n = 50) areas of Jordan, to determine the flock-level prevalence of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) and Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) infections. Tracheal swabs were collected from commercial broilers with respiratory disease and tested by polymerase chain react...
