| avibacterium endocarditidis sp. nov., isolated from valvular endocarditis in chickens. | a novel species of the pasteurellaceae, avibacterium endocarditidis sp. nov., is proposed based upon characterization of 27 isolates from valvular endocarditis in adult broiler parents. all isolates shared the same pfge type after digestion of dna with smai and xbai. in addition, all isolates meet the phenotypic characters for the genus avibacterium. separation of the novel species from other species of avibacterium was possible by means of tests for catalase, symbiotic growth, aerobic growth on ... | 2007 | 17684246 |
| observations on the incidence and aetiology of valvular endocarditis in broiler breeders and detection of a newly described taxon of pasteurellaceae, avibacterium endocarditidis. | a total of 122 dead broiler breeders randomly selected from a flock showing normal production parameters and covering the age from 44 to 61 weeks were subjected to a comprehensive routine post-mortem examination including examination for lesions of endocarditis. forty-two hens (34%) showed valvular endocarditis caused by avibacterium endocarditidis (43%), enterococcus faecalis (31%), staphylococcus aureus (5%) and streptococcus pluranimalium (5%), while growth was not obtained from 17% with the ... | 2010 | 20544423 |
| maldi-tof mass spectrometry confirms difficulties in separating species of the avibacterium genus. | in the present study a well-characterized strain collection (n = 33) of avibacterium species was investigated by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of flight mass spectrometry (maldi-tof ms). the robustness of the currently available reference database (bruker biotyper 3.0) was tested to determine the degree of identification of these strains. reproducible signal patterns were obtained from all strains. however, identification of most strains was only possible at genus level. furth ... | 2014 | 24802229 |
| pathology and localization of avibacterium endocarditidis in experimentally infected broiler breeders. | the aim of this study was to investigate the pathogenic potential of avibacterium endocarditidis. forty broiler breeders were inoculated with one of three doses of the organism and killed at different time points. bacteriology, pathology and fluorescence in-situ hybridization (fish) were performed to evaluate bacterial growth and the development of lesions. abundant growth in pure culture of a. endocarditidis was always obtained from valvular lesions, while only poor growth or no growth was obta ... | 2014 | 24016779 |
