Arthritis Caused by Staphylococci in Avian Youth

摘要

During 2010, from a poultry farm in Transylvania, 12 articulation samples were received from youth avian chicken egg farm where the disease has progressed sporadically at 2 different series in the form of arthritis, initially unilateral and later bilateral. Classical bacteriological techniques made towards mycoplasmosis was negative while from all the samples were isolated strains of Staphylococcus spp. Isolates from both first and the second episode of disease were framed after examination properties using the API Staph biochemical galleries in the species Staphylococcus intermedius. Following testing the strains susceptibility to antibiotics (diffusimetrical technique) was found that they are sensitive to: Penicillin, Amoxicillin, Ampicillin, Enroxil, Floron, Thiamphenicol, Linco-Spectin, Pristinamycine, Tetracycline, Oxacillin, Ceftiofur and resistant to Methicillin.
