Abstract

This study aimed to identify some of the bacterial causes of pneumonia in camel.
A total of 100 lung samples from slaughtered imported camel were taken. Samples were subjected to bacteriologi]=al examination, antibiotic susceptibility testing and molecular characterization of some antibiotic resistant genes. The results showed that the total prevalence of pneumonia in the examined lung samples were 86%. 
 
In addition, the prevalence of the isolated bacteria were; S. aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Klebsiella pneumonia and Mycobacterium bovis with a percentage of 38, 31, 13 and 4; respectively. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of most isolates indicated the presence of multidrug resistant strains. Molecular characterization of some antibiotic resistance genes indicated the presence of blaz, Aac(6'), Pbp1A, erm B, Tet (B) in the examined different types of bacterial isolates. In addition, Mpb70 as a specific gene for M. bovis. Public health significance and recommendations were discussed.
