Isolated from the respiratory tract and oviduct of clinically healthy domestic fowl. It is a comensal in the respiratory tract and oviduct of

domestic fowl.
Isolated from salpingo-peritonitis in hens and from organs of dead chicks and young turkeys. Independent infections arise on the
basis of previous weakening; the others are of mixed or secondary character (mycoplasmosis, tuberculosis, leukocytosis, parasitic
invfestation).
Is pathogenic for 5-day-old chicks and for white mice. Guinea pigs and rabbits are not susceptible.
