Abstract
237 cIoacal and intestinal samples from 37 species of wild
birds from different sources were examined bacteriologically. 32
samples were positive for Salmonella spp., with total incidence
13.5% .The incidence in migratory, free living and Zoo birds were
28.26%, 18.6% and 4.9% respectively. 35 drag swabs from Zoo
bird’s houses and Pigeon houses were negative bacteriologically
for Salmonella spp. Serotyping of the isolates revealed Salmonella
Typhimurium, Salmonella Rissen, Salmonella Regent, Salmonella
Doncaster, Salmonella Curacao, Salmonella IlIb and untyped
Salmonella .The most isolated strain was Salmonella Typhimurium
with percent 40.63%. Antibiogram test was performed on the 2
strains from Zoo birds, the first strain was sensitive to
chloramphenicol, colisin, streptomycin, tetracycline, nalidixic acid
erythromycin, danofloxacin, this strain was intermediately to,
doxycycline and gentamycin, while, it was resistant to Ampicillin
and neomycin On the other hand Salmonella Illb was only
sensitive to danofloxacin and resistant to the rest antimicrobial
agent. to 26 serum sampled were examined
for S.Pullorum by SAT and TAT, 5 and 7samples were positive by
the two test with the end titer 1/20 or 1/40, respectively, while,
using S.Typhimurium antigen 15 samples were positive. PCR
technique was done on 30 samples to compare the sensitivity of
two different isolation media (RV and BP) to SMT; it appeared that
PCR-RV more sensitive than PCR-BP and SMT with percent
66.7%,46.7%, and 13.3% respectively.
