Abstract | ||
This study includes an examination of 70 bacterial swabs taken from ovary, oviduct of femal and male testis from adult pigeons of species Collard dove (Streptopelia decaocto), from December 2010 to June 2011. The pigeons were clinically healthy. The isolates were 12 species and 21 types of bacteria. The type Staphylococcus xylosus was highest ratio (11.7%) and types Micrococcus luteus and Gallibacterium anatis were lowest ratio (1.8%). Other isolates of bacteria were distributed between these two percentages. Regarding the isolate site, the highest isolation ratio of ovarian swabs was Enterococcus durans and Bacillus subtilis (12%), while the higher bacteria ratio isolated from the oviduct swabs are En. avium, Escherichia coli and Pasteurella multocida (9%), the testicular swabs were Staph. xylosus most isolation ratio (20%), while isolate each of species Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staph. xylosus, Staph. saprophyticus, En. faecalis and E. coli of swabs taken in the case of ovulation from female pigeons, has also investigated some of the Virulence factors which are possessed by these isolates such as Urease, DNase, Gelatinase and Haemolysin, the study found that these isolates have some of these factors. | ||
