Abstract:
This study was conducted at El-Obeid Town and some rural
areas around EL-Obeid. 116 samples were collected as swabs,
exudates and tissues scraping from different types of wounds.
Equine (donkeys and horses) were the targeted animals. These
animals are used for different purposes.
For the isolation and identification of bacterial contaminants the
conventional methods described by Barrow and Feltham (1993) were
used.
Most of the bacterial isolates were recovered from swab samples
(118 isolates), Enterococcus faecalis – 27 (22.9%), Staphylococcus
aureus – 24 (20.3%) and Enterococcus faecium- 14 (11.9%) were the
most dominant isolates.
The majority of isolates, 63 isolates out of 159 were obtained in
summer; these isolates were highly recovered from riding donkey's
saddle wounds at El-Obeid Town.
Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis
Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus licheniformis
and Bacillus firmus were selectively used for the susceptibility against
different antibiotics, Nitrofuran, Kanamycin, Nalidixic acid and
xiv
Gentamicin were found active against the tested organisms (6-10 mm)
inhibitory zone.
