Abstract

The present study deals with the bacterial causes Of endometritis in farm animals. The most prevalence isolated organisms were; E. coli (35%) in Cows, (60%) in ewes and (50%) in goats. Klebsiella oxytoca (30%) in cows, S. aureus (25%) in Cows, (50%) in ewes and (30%) in goats. S. pyogenes (30%) in cows, (40%) in ewes and (20%) in Goats. Other organisms were e.g Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Salmonella spp., which isolated in Desending percentages. Serological identification Of E. coli isolates revealed “11” different seroGroup and 2 strains were untypable. Pseudomonas aeruginosa were typed into 6 serogroups and 5 strains were untypable also Salmonella spp. Were serotyped to 4 serovars. Antibiogram of the most prevalent isolated from Endometritis were done against 11 different Antibiotics. Moreover, the antiseptic effect of betadin and potassium permangnate. On the isolated Organisms were recorded and the results described In details.
