چکیده
Sir—In response to the letter of Drs. Frederiksen and Tønning [1], we note that ATCC 13361 is used as the standard strain for Pasteurella gallinarum identification. The biological features of the strains of ATCC 13361 and P. gallinarum isolated from our patient were the same. Both types of bacteria were gram-negative rods that were unable to grow on MacConky agar, and neither of them produced indole. Test results for the following were positive: oxidase, catalase, glucose, trehalose, and maltose; test results for the following were negative: ornithine, decarboxylose, urease, mannitol, sorbitol, lactose, d-xylose, and l-arabinose.
