Eubacterium tortuosum, a gram-positive anaerobic filamentous bacillus, was isolated from splenic and hepatic granulomas of a 56-day-old slaughtered chicken. This isolate was injected intravenously into two groups of 2-week-old broiler chickens, which were necropsied 19 days later. Five of 15 chickens injected with 5 x 10(6) colony-forming units of a 48-hour culture of E. tortuosum developed splenic granulomas typical of those seen in chickens at slaughter. No lesions were observed in chickens given 5 x 10(5) colony-forming units of E. tortuosum or in control chickens receiving phosphate-buffered saline solution. Attempts to reisolate E. tortuosum from experimentally infected chickens were unsuccessful; however, typical filamentous organisms were observed in splenic granulomas of all five affected chickens.
