Abstract
The causal agent of turkey rhinotracheitis (coryza) is a gram-negative nonfermentative bacterium that is relatively unreactive biochemically. The bacterium was classified as A. faecalis. It retains virulent properties for turkey poults even after more than 20 passages in artificial medium. Although A. faecalis does not kill turkey embryos, it can infect them during egg incubation and it does multiply.Keywords
