Bacteria Associated with Diarrhea in Lambs Goats child and Antibiotic Susceptibility in North Kordufan State-Sudan

Abstract

Lambs and goat kid's diarrhea is one of the main sign disease infecting in great lost of lambs and goat kid's as result of bacterial infections of the gastrointestinal tract. This study was carried out to identify bacterial agents associated with lamb and goat kids diarrhoea, to investigate the occurrence of Enterobacteriaceae in lamb and goat kid's diarrhoea and to determine the sensitivity of the bacterial isolating to commonly used and antibiotics (Tetracycline (30mcg), Gentamicin (10µg) Trimethoprim (5µg), Ampicillin (10µg), Ceftriaxone (30mcg), Ciprofloxacin (5mcg), Norfloxacin (10µg), Penicillin, Erythromycin (15µg), Chlormphenicol (30µg), Colistin (10µg) and Lincomycin (15µg)). Bacteriological method were used for identification of isolates and API20E strips were used for confirmation of the result. Agar diffusion method was used for Antibiotic sensitivity testing for the identified bacteria. A total 150 samples were collected from diarrhoeic lamb and goat kids of age 1 to 60 days from North Kordufan state areas during August and September 2017. The number of isolates were 91(60.7%) consisted 27(29.7%) Escherichia coli, 8(8.8%) Interobacter cloacae, 7(7.7%) Pseudomonus aeruginosa, 5(5.5%) Proteus mirabills, 5(5.5%) Stenotrophomonas maltoplila, 4(4.4%) Klebsiella pnemoniae, 3(3.3%) Serratia macenscens, 3(3.3%) Salmonella Arizona, 2(2.2%) Yersinia pestis, 2(2.2%) Pseudomonas oryzihabitans, 2(2.2%) Serratia liquefaciens, 1(1.1%) Pseudomonas luteola,1(1.1%) Shigella spp 1(1.1%) Enterobacter gergoviae,1(1.1%) Citrobacter freundii,1 (1.1%) Citrobacter braakii,1 (1.1%) Citrobacter youngae. Escherichia coli were found the most cause of diarrhea in lamb and goat kid's, followed by Enterobacter cloacae. Most isolates are highly sensitive to Gentamycine, Trimethoprim, Ceftriaxon, Norfloxacin, colistin and Ciprofloxacin respectively, while highly resistant to Penicillin and Lincomycin.
