Abstract
This study was designed as an attempt to isolate and identify the
Campylobacter organisms prevalent in farm animals as well as studying their
antibiotic sensitivity invitro to commonly used antibiotics. Three hundred and seventy
three random samples were collected from cattle. buffaloes and sheep allover
different private farms in Khalubia, Sharkia. tsmalia. El—Nobarea and Cairo abattoir to
detect the possible existance of Campytobecter fetus in such specimens, cultural
characters. morphological characters and biochemical criteria were done to identify
the isolated strains.
The obtained data revealed the presence of Cempylobecter fetus subsp < /p>
venereefis in cattle with an incidence ot(11.73%)whero 27 strains were obtained from
230 samples and it was (12.28%) as 7 isolates were recovered from 57 examinaed
samples while Campylobacter fetus was isolated from sheep gall bladder with
recovery rate of 4.65% as 4 isolates were obtained from 86 samples. The invitro
antibiotics sensitivity test was done against the commonly used antibiotics and the
obtained data proved that isolates of Cempylobacter fetus subsp. venereeiis were
sensitive to nitrofurantion, erythromycin, trimethoprim, streptomycin, chloramphenical
with activity of 100%, 97.05%. 97.50%. 91.17% and 85.29% respectively. While
isolates of Cempydobacter fetus subsp. fetus were sensitive to erythromycin
nitroturantion, trimethoprim, streptomycin. and chloramphenlcol with an activity of
100%. 75%, 75%, 50%. and 50%, respectively.
