Studies on some bacteria associated with abortion in rabbits [electronic resource].

Includes references.

A total of 60 does (20 freshly & aborted dead, 30 live & aborted and 10 non aborted) were collected from private farms at El-Dakahlia Governorate for bacteriological examination. 44 cases (73.3%) of examined samples were positive for bacterial isolates, which indicated that Listeria monocytogenes and Pasteurella multocida were the common bacteria as a single infection in 59.1% of examined samples, however, E. coli with Staph. aureus and P. multocida; P. multocida with Salmonella and Staph. aureus with Strept. Pyogene were isolated as mixed infection in 40.9% of examined samples. The majority of Salmonella strains were identified as Salmonella typhimurium 88.9%. In - vitro sensitivity pattern of isolated strains proved that emofloxacin and gentamycin were the most effective drugs for most isolates, except Listeria monocytogenes was sensitive to ampicillin, amoxicillin and penicillin.
