Introduction
Camel is an animal of considerable importance in Egypt since it is one of the major sources of meat production where its meat represents 66.46 % of total meat obtained from the imported animals for slaughter purposes (Anon, 1986). Also the camel plays vital socioeconomic roles and supports the survival of millions of people in Asia and Africa. It is being used as a source of protein, milk, hide as well as quite and effective mean of transport (Chowdhary, 1986). Respiratory diseases of camels continue to be a major cause of economic loss and adverse on animal. Stress of cold weather, rain, bad hygiene and high humidity rate were incriminated to increase the respiratory infection. Respiratory affection is the main cause of death among camel calves allover the world (Chowdhary, 1986; Khanna et al., 1992). Several species of organisms could be isolated from both apparently healthy and affected respiratory tract of camel,Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of them(Amany, 2000; Fatma et al., 2001; Seddak, 2002). Electrophoretic analysis and immunoblotting are considered one of the most advanced techniques used for characterization of antigens (Laemmli, 1970; Towbin et al., 1979). Hence, the present work aimed to isolate Pseudomonas aeruginosa from respiratory system of camels, in-vitro antibiotic sensitivity against the isolated strains and identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Sodium dodecyl sulfate / polyacrylamid gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Immunoblotting
Materials and Methods
1- Sampling: A total of 210 samples including 70 each of tracheal swabs, lungs and thoracic lymph nodes tissues were collected under aseptic condition from 70 slaughtered camels in different abattoirs. All samples were transported as quickly as possible to the laboratory in an ice box for bacteriological examination.
2- Bacteriological Examination: Each sample was cultured into cetrimide broth and incubated at 42°C for 48 hours. A loopful was taken from the enrichment broth and cultured onto cetrimide agar (Oxoid. M3) and Pseudomonas Agar f base (King et al., 1954). After incubation the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected by blue green pigment production (soluble in both water and chloroform) and the cultures have a distinctive smell (fruity smell) on the media used due to 2 amino acetophenone production. From the suspected colonies, agar slants were made and incubated for further identification according to king et al. (1954) and incubated at 42°C for 48 hours.
3- In-vitro antibiotic sensitivity test: The disc diffusion technique was performed on the isolated bacteria from infected cases according to Finegold and Martin (1982) using Norfloxacin, Cefoperazone, Amikacin, Flucloxacillin, Penicillin, Neomycin, Ampicillin, Gentamycin and Chloramephenicol. The degree of sensitivity was determined and interpreted according to Oxoid (1998).
4- Preparation of outer membrane protein antigen (OMPs) Each of the strains was cultivated in 500 ml of broth medium for 2 days at 37°C, the cells were sedminted by centrifugation at 13,000XG for 20 minutes, washed twice in 0.25 M NaCl and resuspended in 1.5 ml of M NaCl. One ml of cell suspension was combined with 2 ml of phenol- acetic acid- water (2:1:0.5 w/v/v) then after 3 to 4 hours at 25°C, the insoluble material was sedimented by centrifugation at 30,000XG for 15 minutes and the supernatant fluid was decanted and maintained at5°C until used(Dubreuil et al., 1988).
5- Electrophoresis for OMPs Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS- PAGE) of the OMPs samples of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were carried out as described by Laemmli (1970) using pre- stained high molecular weight standard marker (Sigma Chemical company St. Louis Mo 63178 USA. The bands of mol.w. protein marker from top to bottom are: 66. KDa, 45 KDa, 34.7 KDa, 24 KDa, 18.4 KDa and 14.3 KDa. After electrophoresis, the gel was stained by coomassi blue stain and distained according to Hitchock and Brown (1983). Dendogram was constructed for similarity with each isolates (Advanced American Biotechnology, UPGMA, USA).
6- Imunblotting (Western blot) according to Towbin et al. (1979): After electrophoresis the gels were transferred onto nitrocellulose membrane. The membrane were incubated with rabbit anti-bovine Ig G conjugated with HRP (Horse raddish peroidase), using Biolab - broad rang pre- stained Molecular weight marker.
The color was developed by adding the substrate (30mg 4-chloro – 1–naphthol dissolved, 10 ml cold methanol, 30 μl hydrogen peroxide in 50 ml PBS pH 7.4). At the end of transfer process, protein bands were checked on nitrocellulose membrane by staining with 1 % amido black stain.

Discussion
Bacterial infection of the respiratory tract of camels represents important problems confronting animal production. The present study deals with the pathogenic bacteria in the respiratory tract of slaughtered camels (Amany, 2000). The results recorded in Table 1 showed that bacteriological examination of 70 tracheal swab samples, 70 lung samples and 70 lymph node samples collected from 70 slaughtered camels revealed that 3 (4.28%), 6 (8.57%) and 3 (4.28 %) respectively were positive forPseudomonas aeruginosa (Buxton and Fraser, 1977), also these results nearly agree with those ofFatma et al. (2001). In vitro, the susceptibility of the isolatedPseudomonas aeruginosa to different antibiotics is represented in Table 2; the isolated bacteria was highly sensitive to Gentamycin and Chloramephenicol while was resistant to Amikacin, Flucloxacillin, Penicillin, Neomycin and Ampicillin. These findings are partially in agreement with those mentioned with Riad (1989); Abd El-kader (1992); Thabet (1993); Ahmed (1994); Seddak (2002). The resistance of bacterial isolates to some antibiotics may be attributed to wrong dosage, duration of treatment and route of administration (Amstutz and Armostrong, 1982). SDS- PAGE is considered as a powerful tool to differentiate genetically related microorganisms(Wassenaar and Newell, 2000) Electrophoresis of protein was carried out in polyacrylamide gel (10%) where protein was dissociated into their individual polypeptide subunits. This method was discussed by (Laemmli, 1970; Gardon, 1980; Smith, 1984). In order to identify the electrophoretic profile of the isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the protein components were separated by SDS- PAGE and resolved into protein bands as shown in Photo (1) and Table 3. The protein fractions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ranged between 62.123 KDa and 18.8 KDa. The result is nearly similar to that obtained by Doring et al. (1987); Pablo et al. (1989); Jyotsna et al. (2005); Jennifer et al. (2009). Immunoblotting analysis of the OMPs of Pseudomonas aeruginosa demonstrated that the monoclonal antibody specific to Pseudomonas aeruginosa OMPs reacted with protein band at molecular weight of 28.017 KDa (more immunogenic band) while faint bands were revealed at 61.203 KDa, 46.148 KDa and 8.1954 KDa as shown in photo (2) and Table (4). This result was nearly similar to that obtained by (Pablo et al., 1989; Molakala et al., 1992; Jennifer et al., 2009). Finally, more efforts must be done to overcome respiratory disorders problem. Periodical clinical and bacteriological examination of apparently healthy animals should be done to avoid misuse of antibiotics. Adequate hygienic measures and proper management of animals would reduce the degree of exposure of animals to disease producing agents. SDS- PAGE and Immunoblotting analysis may be considered as a rapid, reliable, sensitive and diagnostic method to characterize Pseudomonas aeruginosa. REFERENCES
