Isolation and Identification of Bacterial Pathogens Involved in Respiratory Diseas-es of Rabbits in Fujian
To determine the bacterial pathogens involved in the respiratory diseases of rabbits in Fujian,bacterial pathogens isolated from the 867 lung samples of 3 rabbit farms in three cities(collected from January 2020 to De-cember 2023)of dead rabbits with respiratory diseases were identified.The results showed that Pasteurella multo-cida,Bordetella bronchiseptica and Staphylococcus aureus were the predominant bacterial pathogens associated with the respiratory diseases of rabbits in Fujian,and the isolation rates of the three pathogens were 63.07%,32.00%and 30.72%,respectively.The results of the present study would helpful for the development of efficient vaccines and methods to prevent and control the bacterial pathogens associated with respiratory diseases of rabbits.
