abstract

ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ort), a species of bacteria, is known to be associated with respiratorydisease, growth retardation, mortality and decreased egg production. the aim of the present study was todetermine seroprevalence of the infection and to identify the microorganism by bacteriological and molecularmethods. in this study, 460 serum samples and also 290 tracheal swabs were collected from 29 broilerchicken flocks in slaughter houses. serological results showed that 24 out of 460 (5.12%) serum samplesrelated to 5 flocks were positive for ort by elisa test. ort was isolated from tracheal swabs of 3 flocks(1.03% out of 290 tracheal swabs) by culture and confirmed as ort by specific primers in pcr method.statistically, there was no significant difference between the rate of isolation and ort serum titers (p>0.05).antibiotic sensitivity test using standard disk diffusion technique was performed with 13 antibiotics. all theisolates were resistant (100%) to erythromycin, tetracycline, oxytetracyclin, enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin,flumequin, lincospectin, furazolidon, and 100% of them were found to be susceptible to ceftriaxon andtiamulin, but 2 isolates (66.7%) were moderately sensitive to tylosin and amoxicillin and sensitive toflorfenicol. this study is the first report of the prevalence of ort, bacterial isolation and molecular methodin broiler chickens after broiler breeder vaccination in guilan province.

Seroprevalence and identification of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale from broiler and broiler breeder flocks in Thailand.

Ornithobacteriosis is an infectious disease of avian species that has been reported in almost all countries around the world, except Thailand. The objectives of this study were to determine the seroprevalence of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) and to isolate and identify ORT in broilers and broiler breeders in Thailand. Chicken antibodies had been randomly checked from 17 farms (19 flocks...

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...
