الملخص الإنجليزي

This work was aimed to investigate the epidemiology and possible ways of diagnosis, treatment and control of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) as an emerging respiratory pathogen in rabbits during the period from 2013-2015.

For this purpose, bacteriological, biochemical, serological and histopathological examinations for the collected samples from suspected diseased 300 rabbits at different districts in Kafrelshiekh Governorate suffered from respiratory signs with nasal Discharge, depression with ruffled fur, decreased food consumption with poor performance and expectoration of blood stained mucus just prior to death .

The results revealed isolation of 21 isolates with an incidence of 7%.

The isolates were identified morphologically and biochemically by API 20 NE strip.

Serological identification of the isolated strains using agar gel precipitation test revealed that all isolated ORT strains were belonging to serotype A.

Antibiogramme of the isolated ORT strains revealed sensitivity to sulphamethoxozole + trimethoprine, spiramycin, neomycin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin and tetracycline but resistant to penicillin, streptomycin, clindamycin, lincomycin, gentamycin, vancomycin and colistin sulphate.
