In: Zagazig Veterinary Journal 2009.v.37(3)Summary: This study was carried out on 850 fattening rabbits 2-5 weeks post weaning at one of the largest rabbit projects at Sharkia Governorate (13000 doe, 8 fattening rabbitries). The bacteriological examination of liver, lung and heart specimens from rabbits revealed that the incidence of E. coli, S. aureus, P. multocida, S. pyagenes, K. pneumoniae and S. typhimurium were 29.8%, 8.5%, 5.3%, 3.8% 1.5% and 0.25% respectively. Antibiogram results showed that all the isolates were susceptible to enrofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole and gentamicin, meanwhile all isolates were resistant to neomycin and chloramphenicol. Field treatment trials with enrofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole and gentamicin gave good recovery.
