| Abstract The respiratory system serves as the principal site of infection for many pathogens that cause chronic diseases in birds, and respiratory problems are the primary cause of financial losses in the poultry industry. This study was aimed to isolate different bacterial pathogens affected broiler chicks. Samples were collected from freshly dead and diseased chicks that suffered from respiratory manifestations associated with diarrhea. These samples under test (n=6433, 4628, 4613, 6377 and 4713) for isolation of Salmonella, E. coli, Klebsiella, Proteus and Pseudomonas, respectively. Samples were collected from broiler chicks aged from one to 35 days were collected from Wahat, Regwa (Cairo 3 A company) and external farms, Egypt. The prevalence rates of isolated bacterial pathogens were 9%, 65.3%, 8.8%, 1% and 3.2% for Salmonella, E. coli, Klebsiella, Proteus and Pseudomonas, respectively. All the isolated bacterial pathogens identified biochemically by using Indole test, Methyl red test (MR), Voges-Proskauer test (VP), Citrate utilization test, Catalase test, Oxidase test, Hydrogen sulphide production test, Urease production test, Sugar fermentation, nitrate reduction test, triple sugar iron agar and Lysine decarboxylase test. | ||
