Abstract

Swabs taken from the pharynx and cloaca of Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus) and Gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus) yielded many species of bacteria, including E. coli, Proteus sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Pasteurella anatipestifer, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Some of these organisms may be significant inthe context of raptor disease.
