title: Research note: isolation of two filamentous bacteria associated with enteritis in turkey poults.
abstract: Two microaerophilic filamentous bacteria have been isolated from the intestines of turkey poults exhibiting signs of enteritis. These two filamentous bacteria, denoted as F-1 and F-2, were reinoculated into 4-day-old poults and those poults have shown a reduction in rate of gain when compared with aged-matched controls. Weight reduction was 14% for F-1 and 11% for F-2, respectively, at 21 days of age.
