| Abstract | ||||
| Samples of this study were collected from 150 camel, and cultivated on different types of media for isolation of Salmonellae, It included the mesentric lymph nodes, liver and intestinal contents of 100 apparently healthy camels and 50 samples were from camels suffering from diarrhoea. The percentage of isolation of Salmonella from the first group was 8% while that of the second group was 12%. The serological typing of Salmonellae isolated from healthy camels showed the presence of S. typhimurium (3%), S.enteritidis (2%), S. newport (2%) and S. infanitis (1%), while those of the second group were S. typhimurium (4%), S.enteritidis (4%), each of S. infanitis and S.newport (2%). The isolates were very sensitive to chloramphenicol, gentamycin and neomycin, but were resistant to ampicillin, erythromycin, oleandomycin and pencillin G. It was concluded that the mesentric lymph nodes proved to be the best site for isolation of Salmonellae, in camels. The hygienic importance was discussed. | ||||
