摘　　要：A Bordetella hinzii strain, isolated from the lung of a dead breast-feeding infant rex rabbit with a respiratory infection, was used as study object to investigate its phenotypic and genetic characteristics. The strain could grow on MacConkey agar and was gram-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase-positive, short rodshaped, and it can produce alkali from malonate. Its 6S rRNA sequence was partially identical with B. hinzii （AF177667）. Animal experiments revealed nasal mucous hyperemia, tracheal congestion and bronchopneumonia in 28-day old rex rabbits. To sum up, this Bordetella hinzii isolate was deemed as a novel causative agent of respiratory disease in rex rabbit.A Bordetella hinzii strain, isolated from the lung of a dead breast-feeding infant rex rabbit with a respiratory infection, was used as study object to investigate its phenotypic and genetic characteristics.
