| Abstract | ||||
| Pseudomonas infection of birds is of great importance because epidemics may spread rapidly through poultry flocks causing mortality in all ages. The most predominant pseudomonas species causing mortality among birds specially chickens was pseudomonas aeruginosa. The organisms are ubiquitous, often associated with soil, water and humid environments. A total number of 304 different organ samples (liver, kidney, heart and lung) from 76 examined resident and migratory wild birds were examined bacteriologically for isolation of pseudomonas aeruginosa. Our results revealed that 25% from bird samples were positive. Culture character as well as identical biochemical identified the organism. Pure isolates were confirmed by PCR using (tox A gene). | ||||
