Abstract
In this study, was carried out with the aim of identifying types of gross and histopathological lesions as well as examined for presence of bacteria in lungs of camels slaughtered between February and April 2012 at Great Cairo abattoir enterprise, Egypt. A total of 1222 slaughtered camel lungs were inspected during the study period. Of which, one or more gross lesions were encountered on 152 lungs. Lesions were further subjected for detail gross and histopathological examinations. The occurrence of pulmonary lesions was 12,46%. The gross and histopathological examination of these lesions had revealed 80 (52.63%) pneumonia, 70 (46.6 %) hydatidosis and 2(1.31%) anthracosis. Pneumonia was classified according to histopathological finding into 47.5% were affected with suppurative bronchopneumonia, 40% with fibrinopurulent pneumonia, 10% with fibrinous bronchopneumonia and 2.5% with proliferative interstitial pneumonia. Microbiological isolation revealed presence of camel pathogens, such as Streptococcus species (30.47%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (24.86%), Mannheimia hemolytica (12.38%), Pusteurella multocida (11.43%), Coagulase Negative Streptococci (9.52%), Mycoplasma species. (3.08%), Staphylococcus aureus (3.08%) E. coli (1.9%), Candida albicans (0.96%) and Proteus (0.96%)
