| 英文描述 | A coryneform bacterial strain of uncertain affiliation was isolated from chickens experiencing an outbreak of polyarthritis. There was swelling of the joints, although some birds were lame without joint swelling. In addition to joint lesions, swollen and congested liver, spleen, and kidney were found at postmortem. The organism could not be assigned to a regognized taxon, but was called coryneform, a term that describes a cluster of gram-positive bacteria including LISTERIA, LACTOBACILLUS, and ERYSIPELOTHRIX. |
