| Abstract |
Out of 93 clinically positive pneumonic lungs of slaughtered camels 78 cases were culturally positive for both fungal and bacterial infection. Pathological studies revealed 4 types of pneumonia including granulomatus pneumonia (3 cases. 3.8%) due to Aspergillus fumigatus infection, haemorrhagic pneumonia (35 cases 44.9%) and occurred due to fungal infection in (8 cases), concurrently mixed bacterial and fungal infection (2 cases) and due to bacterial infection alone in (25 cases). Nercotizing pneumonia (38 cases 48.7%) and occurred due to fungal infection in (7 cases), mixed fungal and bacterial infection in (4 cases) and bacterial infection alone in (27 cases). Fibrinous pneumonia due to Pasteurella haemolytica infection was recorded in (2 cases 2.6%). Correlation between the causative agents and pathological entities in each type of pneumonia was studied and discussed in details. Mycological examination showed that 25.8% of the examined cases revealed positive results for fungal infection. Aspergillus spp. was the most prevalent type of the recorded fungi, (66%) Penicillium spp. (19%), Fusarium spp. (7.5%), Mucor spp. (5.5%) and yeasts (2%). Bacteriological examination revealed that (64.5%) of the examined cases were culturally positive for bacterial isolates; (44.1%) yielded single bacterial isolates and (20.4%) yielded mixed bacterial isolates. The main bacterial isolates were S. aureus (18.99%), S. pneumoniae (17.72%), Actinomyces pyogenes (8.86%), Micrococci (7.60%), non. haemolytic streptococci (2.53%). Klebsiella pneumoniae (15.19%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.10%), E. coli (10.13%) and Pasteurella haemolytica (2.53%), while C. haemolyticum and Y.enterocolitica were isolated for the first time from pneumonic lung of camel. The in vitro antibiotic sensitivity test for each type of the isolated bacterial isolates were discussed in details.
