Etiology and Bacterial Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Endometritis in Camels (Camelus dromedarius)
نویسنده
چکیده
The study aimed to investigate the bacterial etiology of endometritis and in vitro antibiotic sensitivity of the isolates in dromedary camels admitted to a clinic. Uterine swabs were collected from 45 animals diagnosed as suffering from endometritis out of 95 infertile female camels. The samples were subjected to bacteriological isolation and identification. All the isolates were tested for in-vitro antibiotic sensitivity. Bacterial species isolated from these samples were Arcanobacterium pyogenes, with 33.33% (n=11), Staphylococcus aureus, 27.27% (n=9), Proteus mirabilis, 24.24% (n=8), Bacillus spp., 9.09% (n=3), Streptococcus agalactiae 3.03% (n=1) and Kocuria kristinae 3.03% (n=1). A. pyogenes, Staph. aureus, P. mirabilis were significantly (P<0.01) associated with endometritis in dromedary camels. The antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the isolates indicated that 51.51%, 12.12%, 12.12%, 0.00%, 0.00%, 45.45% and 48.48% were sensitive for nitrofurantoin, erythromycin, oxy-tetracycline, ampicillin, penicillin, chloramphenicol and kanamycin respectively. The isolates were significantly (P<0.01) sensitive to nitrofurantoin, chloramphenicol and kanamycin.

Bacteriological and Pathological Study on Pneumonia in the One-Humped Camel (Camelus dromedarius) in Jordan
Rearing systems, stress factors, climatic changes, unhygienic conditions, sudden changes in feed and a low level herd health status were stated as predisposing factors to bacterial and viral pneumonia. In camels, pneumonia outbreaks are usually observed during the change from the dry to the rainy season (5, 17, 19, 25, 27). Only few studies were found in the available literature on pathological...

An abattoir survey of the female reproductive tracts of 80 camels was conducted to evaluate the gross and microscopic abnormalities. An incidence of (32.5%) of disorders was recorded from 26 female. 16 camels (20%) had uterine lesions and 10 camels (12.5%) had ovarian lesions. Salpingitis occurred in three camels (3.75%) that also had uterine inflammations. Uterine inflammations were 12 cases (...

Very little is known about LHR and FSHR genes of domestic dromedary camels. The main objective of this study was to determine and analyze partial genomic regions of FSHR and LHR genes in dromedary camels for the first time. To this end, a total of 50 DNA samples belonging to dromedary camels raised in Iran were sent for sequencing (25 samples of each gene). We compared the nucleotide sequences ...
