Bacteriological examination of tissues and swabs from one-day-old chicks and older birds (3-9 weeks old) from turkey flocks known to be infected with M. meleagridis showed that M. meleagridis was recovered more frequently from the oesophagus than the trachea in one-day-old birds, but that in birds of 3-9 weeks old the reverse was true. Swabbing from the oesophagus could be useful in monitoring for M. meleagridis infection in young turkey poults.
