A bacteriological and histopathological study of sheep pneumonia in Salah Aldeen Governorate

“…The results of the bacterial isolation from tracheal swabs that taken from sheep suffering from pneumonia also showed that Klebsiella pneumonia rate 19.64% which is the second highest percentage after Staphylococcus aureus, then Escherichia coli bacteria was 17.86%, Proteus mirabilis 10.71%, Staphylococcus epidermidis 8.93% then Streptococcus pneumonia 7.14% and the lowest percentage was Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pasteurella multucida 5.36% as in (Table3). These results agree with [ 16 ] , [ 17 ] where Klebsiella pneumonia showed a high percentage, as it was isolated by 48%, which is the most common. The difference of bacterial isolation might be due to sample size, the presence of contamination sources, as well as pathogenic properties and virulence factors of these bacteria, which enhance the formation of colonies in the host tissue, which facilitates their spread in the tissue by inhibiting the defense cells [ 2 ] .…”

“…The blood vessels contained Congested and hemolyzed blood Fig (17). ,Where the highest isolation rate was for Staphylococcus aureus, who said that the increase in the incidence of infection with Staphylococcus aureus bacteria is due to the pathogenic characteristics and virulence factors for these bacteria that enhance the formation of colonies in the host's tissues, which facilitates their spread In the tissue through the inhibition of defense cells.…”
