title: Identification of Bordetella avium sp. nov. by the API 20 NE system.
abstract: The reactions of 47 Bordetella avium strains in the API 20 NE micro-test system were compared to those of the species Bordetella bronchiseptica, Alcaligenes faecalis and Alcaligenes denitrificans. The API 20 NE microtest system allowed separation between B. avium and the other species of Gram-negative nonfermentative rods investigated.
