Bacteriological studies of endometritis as a main cause for reproductive and fertility problems in she-camel [electronic resource].

Includes references.

A total of 54 femal camels with a history of conception failure were examined through transrectal palpation, ultrasonography and vaginal explorations. Animals were categorized according to type of uterine infection (endometritis n=26 animals) and (metritis n=28 animals). Several types of both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria were isolated from diseased animals. Presence of bacteria were detected in samples (87.5 %) in cases ofendometritis in contrast to (92.5%) from metritis cases. Several microorganisms were isolated from infected camels. The microorganisms associated with endometritis were identified as Staphylococcus aureus, 16 isolates (40 %), Corynebacterium Spp., 8 isolates (20 %), E.coli, 6 isolates (15 %) and Salmonella spp. 5 isolates (12.5 %). In metritis cases the isolated bacteria were identified as Corynebacterium Sp.12 isolates (30 %), Proteus Sp. 10 isolates (25 %), Klebseiella Sp. 8 isolates (20 %) and Salmonella Sp. 7 isolates (17.5 %). According to the line of treatment, female camels were divided into four groups for endometritis and metritis cases.
