Genomic sequences reveal nonpathogenic avibacterium paragallinarum in healthy chickens, complicating infectious coryza diagnosis.
Avibacterium paragallinarum is a primary bacterial pathogen causing infectious coryza (IC), a respiratory disease of chickens. However, nonpathogenic Avibacterium paragallinarum (npAP) has been discovered in naive, healthy chickens, complicating IC diagnosis. Here, we report eight complete and four draft genome sequences of npAP isolates from four US states.
