Isolation and molecular detection of Pasteurella multocida and Gallibacterium anatis in Poultry from Five Provinces in Iraq

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The current study aimed at isolation and identification with molecular detection of Pasteurella multocida and Gallibacterium anatis from five provinces in Iraq. Samples were collected from 68-layer farms in different provinces (Baghdad, Diyala, Babylon, Salahuddin, and Wasit). Out of 12 swabs of suspected chicken cases, bacteriological diagnosis detected 5 isolates as Pasteurella multocida by using blood agar and biochemical tests, and out of 21 samples, only 6 isolates were Gallibacterium anatis using the same blood agar and biochemical tests. Additionally, the positive samples detected by RT- PCR technique was used to confirm the isolates. To conclude, Pasteurella multocida and Gallibacterium anatis were isolated bacteria from respiratory infections in layer poultry farms in Iraq.
