| Abstract | ||||
| In the present study, Ps. aeruginosa was isolated from diseased chickens with different clinical manifestations. The incidence of Ps. aeruginosa infection in different tissues and organs was detected. The isolated Ps. aeruginosa _ strains were identified by traditional methods in addition to one available recent method. Moreover, the atibiogram of different chemotherapeutic agents against Ps. aeruginosa isolates was Carried out. Morphological, biochemical and serological identification methods were able to specify different strains of Ps. aeruginosa. Pyocin Production was also detected using the available indicator strains of Ps. aeruginosa. An approximate correlation was detected between Pyocin Production and the serotyping. Some serotypes Were more potent pathogens for chicken than others. Plasmid profiling was detected and proved to be a good tool to follow the epidemiological picture of Ps. aeruginosa outbreaks amoung our livestock as well as human populations. However, these was no clear evidence to refer certain plasmid profiles to the phenotypes of Ps. aeruginosa that were investigated in this study. | ||||
