Ecology
Source
isolated from respiratory tracts of turkeys, chickens, rooks, and a partridge, and most strains have been associated with infections such as tracheitis, pericarditis, sinusitis, airsacculitis, and pneumonia.
Morphology
Cells are non-motile, non-spore-forming, short, plump rods (0.2-0.9 × 1-3 µm). Smooth, nonpigmented colonies develop after 2 days of incubation on rich peptone, peptone-blood, or chocolate agar at 36°C.
