Detection of organ bacterial load in quails

Abstract

A total of thirty normally quail birds were bought from local market in Mosul city in the period from September-October 2011. Quail birds were slaughtered and samples taken aseptically from internal organs of each bird for bacteriological investigation. The result showed isolation of 203 bacterial isolates from different organs of quail birds. The isolates ranged from Corynebacterium spp. 29.6 % (60 isolates) as a high percent, then E. coli 18.2% (37 isolates), Staphylococcus aureus 16.3 %(33 isolates), Bacillus spp. 14.8% (30 isolates), Enterococcus faecalis 9.9% (20 isolates), Klebsiella pneumoniae 6.4% (13 isolates), Proteus spp. 1.9% (4 isolates), Pasteurella multocida 1.9% (4 isolates) and Coagulase -vestaphyloco-ccus 1% (2 isolates). This study showedCorynebacterium spp. and E. coli were dominant bacteria in the internal organs of quail birds. Many studies reported that quail birdswere resistant to many bacterial diseases, so that these birds may act asmechanical transporting for different bacterial species to humans and animals with the risky of transporting of resistance bacterial species for many antibiotics.

Prevalensi Strain Avian Pathogenik Escherichia coli (APEC) Penyebab Kolibasilosis pada Burung Puyuh

“…Kolibasilosis pada unggas menyebabkan kerugian ekonomi karena menurunnya produksi, menyebabkan kematian dan bertambahnya biaya pengobatan (Barnes et al, 1997;Bilge et al, 1989;Nakazato et al, 2009;Dı'az-Sa'nchez et al, 2012;Sarah et al, 2015). Pada unggas kolibasilosis ditandai dengan perikarditis, air sacculitis dan perihepatitis (Calnek et al, 1997), salpingitis, omfalitis, selulitis, sindroma kepala bengkak, koligranuloma radang yolk sac serta air sacculitis (McPeake et al, 2005;Hamad et al, 2012). Menurut Barnes et al (2003) kolibasilosis p a d a u n g g a s m e n y e b a b k a n m e n i n g i t i s , panophthalmitis (mata bengkak), osteoartritis, sinositis dan koligranuloma yang ditandai dengan beberapa granuloma di hati, sekum, duodenum dan mesenterium.…”

Peran Hemaglutinin dan Hemolisin pada Escherichia coli Sorbitol-negatif Isolat Burung Puyuh pada Proses Infeksi Secara in Vitro

“…Kolibasilosis pada unggas menimbulkan kerugian ekonomi ka rena menyebabkan penurunan produksi, ber tam bahnya biaya pengobatan maupun adanya kematian unggas (van der Westhuizen dan Bragg, 2012). Burung puyuh merupakan ung gas yang dilaporkan rentan terhadap banyak penyakit (Roy et al, 2006;Hamad et al, 2012), salah satu diantaranya collibacillosis (Kenneth, 2008).…”

“…Isolat-isolat tersebut pada uji hemaglutinasi menggumpalkan eritrosit domba. Hasil penelitian ini lebih besar dibandingkan dengan laporan Hamad et al (2012), 18.2% Escherichia coli patogen isolat burung puyuh memiliki hemaglutinin. Prevalensi Escherichia coli patogen isolat asal unggas yang memiliki hemaglutinin sangat beragam.…”
