Antimicrobial activity of Camels (Camelusdromedarius ) and Sheep urine on some pathogenic bacteria .

Abstract

Abstract: Aims: This study was designed to investigate the antimicrobial effect of camel and sheep urine to Staph aureus (S.aureus), Escherichia coli (E. coli). Salmonella SP, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ps. Aeruginosa) and Enterobacter cloacae (E. cloacae). Study Design: a total of 100 samples of urine (60 from camels and 40 from sheep) collected fromdifferent localities in Sudan including:Tampool, Elobied and Batana slaughter houses were tested for antimicrobial activity to some bacterial isolates. Place and Duration of Study: The study was undertaken in the Bacteriology lab, Veterinary Research Institute, Ministry of Animal Resources, Fisheries and Range Lands, Khartoum during 2014-2015. Methodology: Disc diffusion and Agar well diffusion methods were used. Results: clear Zones of inhibition were observed onto S. aureus. E. coli. , Salmonella SP, Ps. aeruginosa and E. cloacae when tested using camel urine. Conclusion: Concentrated camel urine was reported as the best preparation of camel urine with high ability to inhibit bacterial growth.
