Summary. Both viruses and bacteria, including Avibacterium paragallinarum, formerly known as Haemophilus paragallinarum, can be etiological agents of respiratory infections of birds. Cultural-morphological and molecular-biological studies established that three isolates selected during 2019–2020 from pathological material (swabs from the subocular sinuses) of 42–180 days old birds (No. 1 — SS 6/20, serotype A; No. 2 — SS 7/20, serotype B; No. 3 — SS 8/20, serotype C) belonged to the species A. раragallinarum and they formed a heterogeneous group. During the study of the virulence of isolates on birds, it was found that it varies: A. paragallinarum SS 6/20 is virulent (the average value of the sum of points is from 0.5 to 0.7); A. paragallinarum SS 7/20 is low virulent (the average value of the sum of points is from 0.2 to 0.3); A. paragallinarum SS 8/20 is virulent (the average value of the sum of points is from 0.8 to 0.9). Also, isolates were heterogeneous in terms of pathogenicity. The pathogen A. paragallinarum, SS 7/20 had the lowest pathogenicity, while when infected with A. paragallinarum isolates, SS 6/20 and A. paragallinarum, SS 8/20, the morbidity of birds was 80–100%
