Abstract
The present work was aimed to investigate pathogens of zoonotic importance that can be transmitted from rabbits to human beings who come in contact with rabbits or consumers of rabbit flesh. This work include the followings:
A- A total of 173 faecal pellets samples [from diarrhoeic (42) and non diarrhoeic rabbits (131)] and 97 stool specimens from workers in rabbit farms and shop sallers were collected and examined bacteriologically to identify pathogenic and potentially pathogenic bacteria.
The obtained results revealed that:
1-Bacteria isolated from rabbits were Listeria spp. (2.31%), E.coli
(20.81%) , Staph.aureus (1.16%), Proteus spp. (6.94%) (Pr.mirabilis
0.58% , Pr.morgani 1.73%, Pr.rettegri 4.05% and Pr.vulgaris 0.56%)
Alcaligenes faecalis (1.73%) , Citrobacter freundii (2.31%)
Enterobacter cloacae (7.52%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2.98%), Provedencia spp. (1.73%) , Alcalescenes dispar (1.16%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (2.31%), Serratia marscenses (2.31%) and other G -ye rods (6.36%).
2-Bacteria isolated from human beings were Listeria spp. (6.19%) E.coli (18.56%), Salmonella spp. (5.16%), Shigella flexneri type 6
(3.09%) , Proteus spp. (7.22%) (Pr.morgani 3.09% , Pr.rettegri
4.12%) , Alcalgenes faecalis (2.06%) , Enterobacter cloacae
(17.53%); Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8.25%), Klebsiella
