Abstract Bacteriological examination of the uterine discharges of some farm animals with normal parturition and those suffering from infected puerperium was carried out within 1-8 days postp tum to detect the bacterial flora and the sensivitity of the isolated bacteria to different antibiotics in order to apply the antibiotic of choice clinically. Sixty-five cows, 36 buffalo-cows and 50 ewes and she-goate were included in this work. ~wenty-nine cows, 8 buffalo-cows and 24 ewes and she-goats were normally parturient. Twenty-nine cows, 17 buffalo-cows and 26 ewes and she-goate were suffering from infected puerperium. Seven cows, 11 buffalo-cows were having retained placentae. The bacterial isolates from cows with normal parturition were Staphylococcus species (68.97%), Streptocossus species(48.28%). Anthracoids (48.28%),Corynebacterium species (3.45%), Micrococci (72.41%), Gaffkya (6.89%), Escherichia coli (68.97%), Klebsiella (20.68%), Proteus (10.35%), Shigella (17.24%), Salmonella (10.35%) and Enterobacter aerogenes (3.45%). The bacterial isolates from buffalo-cows with normal parturition included Staphylococcus species (100%), Streptococcus species (37.5%) I Anthracoids (12.5%) I Corynebacterium species (25%), Micrococci (12.5%) I Escherichia coli (37.5%) I Klebsiella (12.5%), Shigella (12.5%) and Arizona (12.5%). The bacterial flora of the uterine discharges of the normally parturient ewes and she-goats included Staphylococcus species(75%), :’itreptococcus species (111.11790), I\nthracoids (111.117’\), Micrococci (29.170) ann Escherichia coli (87.S~), Corynehacterium species, The bacteriological examination of uterine swabs of cows suffering from infected puerperium revealed the isolation of Staphylococcus species (48.28%). Streptococcus species (44.83%), Antbracoids (6.89%), Corynebacterium species (27.S9%), Micrococci (17.24%) , -E~sc-h-e-r~i-c-h-i-a c~o-~li. (55.1n), Klebsiella (51.72%), Proteus (17.24%) and Shigella (13.79%). Gaffkya and Enterobacter aerogenes were recovered sporadically. The most prevalent bacterial isolates from buffalo-cows suffering from infected puerperium were Staphylococcus species (52.94%), Streptococcus species (35.29%). Corynebacterium species (23.51%), Micrococci (47.011%), Sarcina (11. 77%), Escherichia coli (76.47%), Kelbsiella (17.115%), Proteus (17.115%). and Salmonella (11.77%). Anthracoids, Shigella and Enterabacter aerogenes were isolated sporanically. The isolated bacteria from ewes ann she-goate sufferinq from infected puerperium were Staphylococcus species (80.77%) Streptococcus species (31l.46%). Corynebacterium species (11.54%), Micrococci (23.08%). Escherichia coli (65.39%), klebsiella (7.69%), Proteus (11.54%) and Arizona (11.54%). Anthracoids, Sarcina, Salmonella ann Enterobacter aeroaenes were isolated from single Cases : RRThe bacterial isolates from cows with retained placenta were Staphylococcus species (71.43%), Escherichia coli (8~.71%), Streptococcus species (42.80%) and Corynebacterium species(28.57%) Anthracoids, Klebsiella, Proteus and Shigella were recovered sporadically. In case of buffalo-cows, the prevalent bacterial isolates were Staphylococcus species (81.82%), Escherichia coli (54.55%), Streptococcus species (4~.~%), Shigella (4~.~%), Klebsiella (27.27%) and Micrococci (18.18%). Corynehacterium species and Salmonella were isolated from single cases. Thirteen different antibiotic dises were used for detection of the sensitivity of the isolated microorganisms. The isolated bacteria were sensitive to Tribrissen, Nalidixic acid, Chloramphenicol, longacting terramycin, Trimethoprime-Sulfamethoxazol, Kanamycin, Ampicillin, Tetracycline and Oxytetracycline,Mild sensitivity was obtained with Gentamycin and Streptomycin. Penicillin and Erythromycin has no effect on the isolated bacteria. Tribrissen and Ut-forte were used as antibiotic of choice for intrauterine treatment of effected animals. First group included 14 animals and given one gram Tribrissen daily for two days which has a highly significant effect on the present microorganisms. The second group included 8 animals and was given one gram Ut-forte daily for two days. A significant effect was obtained against Staphylococcus aureus and a highly significant effect against Enterohacteriaceae. |
