ism from live, culled poults. In another experiment, fresh, fertile eggs were obtained from a flock suffering from infectious sinusitis. The eggs were incubated and hatched in isolation. The organism was isolated from dead embryos and poults dead in the shell, but with one exception, no isolations were made from live poults even though they had air sac lesions. Poults from these eggs raised in batteries suffered an outbreak of sinusitis between 2 and 3 weeks of age. This indicates that M. gallinarum infection may be transmitted to poults by way of the egg.
