Abstract
Intestinal and rectal smears from 137 birds (4 snowy egrets Egretta thula, 22 great egrets Casmerodius albus, 30 great blue herons Ardea herodias, and 81 double-crested cormorants Phalacrocorax auritus) were examined by indirect fluorescent antibody test for the presence of Edwardsiella ictaluri. Edwardsiella ictaluri was detected in 53% of the birds sampled. Rectal samples from eight birds were placed in a special antibiotic broth for isolation of viable E. ictaluri. Two of these samples produced colonies of viable E. ictaluri, and the identity of these colonies was confirmed biochemically and serologically.
