Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale was found to cause growth retardation in both turkeys and chickens after experimental intra-air sac administration and to cause growth retardation together with airsacculitis and pneumonia after aerosol administration. Both turkey and chicken isolates of O. rhinotracheale were able to induce the same kind of respiratory inflammations and weight-gain losses in chickens as well as turkeys. Turkey rhinotracheitis virus was found to have a triggering effect on the O. rhinotracheale infection in turkeys, and Newcastle disease virus and to a lesser extent infectious bronchitis virus showed triggering effects on the O. rhinotracheale infection in chickens. Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale could be reisolated from affected organs of experimentally infected birds.
实验性气囊内接种后发现，鼻气管鸟杆菌可导致火鸡和鸡生长发育迟缓；气溶胶接种后，该菌可导致生长发育迟缓，并伴有气囊炎和肺炎。从火鸡和鸡中分离出的鼻气管鸟杆菌，均能在鸡和火鸡中引发相同类型的呼吸道炎症和体重增加损失。已发现火鸡鼻气管炎病毒对火鸡鼻气管鸟杆菌感染有触发作用，新城疫病毒以及在较小程度上传染性支气管炎病毒，对鸡鼻气管鸟杆菌感染有触发作用。可从实验感染禽类的患病器官中再次分离出鼻气管鸟杆菌。
