title: [Relevance and diagnostics of selected bacterial pathogens of poultry].
abstract: This paper provides an overview of diseases caused by  Bordetella avium,  Gallibacterium anatis,  Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale,  Riemerella anatipestifer and  Enterococcus cecorum in poultry flocks. These bacterial species are almost exclusively found in birds. Their identification with biochemical methods is described and alternative molecular biological methods are discussed.
