Abstract

Closed abscesses are perhabs the most important
affections of one humped camels in Egypt. The most
common site of these abscesses are on the thoracic
regions, shoulders, abdomen and the hind quarters
also being affected fairly frequently (Rathore and
Lodha, 1973). The severity of the abscesses depends
on the position in which it occur and the contamina-
tion with differ forms of micro-organisms (Shaton'Ko,
1955; Lam et al., 1963). Failure to treat such pyoge-
nic abscesses properly and promptly may lead to many
complications. Such abscesses may becomes chronic,
(cading to poor condition of the affected camels
Roberts, 1968; Jubb and Kennedy, 1970).
some investigators recorded that certain different
facultative anaerobic bacterial species were commonly
recovered from camels affected with abscesses (Hagen
And Fossum, 1962; Rathors and Lodha, 19733 Morcos and
Amin, 1974; Finely, 1975, Tannock and Dobbinson ,1984
And Ismail et al., 1985) but shows various consider-
Able differences in the number and the incidence of
facultative anaerobic isolates.
