Suspected cases were confirmed after culturing on Bile esculinazid agar, biochemical testing either by conventional and bioMerieuxVitek. Prevalence were (7/26) and   (4/20) in duckling farms and backyard respectively.Sensitivity testing of isolated enterococci from duck flocks to antimicrobial agents were tested using the disk diffusion method.Enterococcus faecalis showed multiple drug resistance patterns for different antibiotics ,oxytetracyclin, chloramphenicol, Erythromycin, Gentamicin, Ciprofloxacin, Neomycin, Kanamycin, Vancomycin, Nalidixic acid, and streptomycin while,  susceptible to Ampicilin.Pathogencity test for isolated   Enterococcus fecalis was performed .Inoculated ducks showed mainly,general clinical signs respiratory manifestation, lameness , growth retardation and pathologically airsaculitis, perihepatitis, pericarditis ,endocarditis, splenomegaly and necrosis of bone extremities (FHN) differ in severity according to the route of inoculation intravenous, intrathoracic, intranasal and orally respectively.
