title: Absence of mouse-lethal toxins in Australian isolates of Bordetella avium.
abstract: A total of 18 Australian isolates of Bordetella avium and seven reference B. avium strains from Europe and the USA were tested for the presence of a mouse-lethal toxin. Five of the seven reference strains of B. avium, but none of the 18 Australian isolates, produced the toxin.
