First Description of Mergibacter septicus Isolated from a Common Tern ( Sterna hirundo ) in Germany
Mergibacter septicus ( M. septicus ), previously known as Bisgaard Taxon 40, is a recently described species within the Pasteurellaceae family. In this study, we present a M. septicus strain isolated from a common tern ( Sterna hirundo ) chick that died just after fledging from the Banter See in Wil...
