Clinical study on Moraxella-associated infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) of small ruminants

Abstract: Infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) represents an important health problem in semi-desert and desert areas. The present study tries to investigate the possible role of Moraxella as a causative agent of IKC. A total number of 140 sterile conjunctival swabs from the diseased animals (93 sheep and 47 goats) of different ages showed signs of IKC were subsequently collected, bacteriologically examined to isolate Moraxella spp, which was successively isolated from 19 animals (11 sheep and 8 goats) with infection r… Show more

“…After 36 h, G2 demonstrated a reduction in ulcer diameter, thus evidencing a better and more efficient corneal recovery compared with G1. Antibiotics could have boosted the re-epithelialization response because of the susceptibility of M. ovis to gentamicin [ 19 ]. These outcomes verified the theory of Tanidir et al .…”
