title: Pathogenic staphylococci and staphylococcal infections in canaries.
abstract: Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from six cases of bacterial infection in canaries, Staphylococcus hyicus from three and Staphylococcus intermedius from one case. Staphylococcus aureus was most often involved in outbreaks of septicaemia, with or without 'Megabacterium' proventriculitis. The other coccal species were mainly complicating disease caused by Atoxoplasma (Lankesterella), Chlamydia psittaci and canary pox.
