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.
