Extract

In his observations on six-day disease, Taylor (1944) reported that the chicks which died on his preliminary experiments gave negative results on bacteriological examination.

Many workers hold that for routine examination of poultry, a quick, convenient and inexpensive method of detecting certain specific bacterial infection is to inoculate slopes of nutrient agar with liver or other tissue, and incubate at 37° C. It is claimed that some organisms often grow in pure culture from diseased chicks, and that this method is especially suitable in the detection of S. pullorum or S. gallinarum infections. The resultant growth can be washed off in saline solution and tested by specific agglutinating sera or by testing on certain carbohydrates.
