The objective of this study to evaluate the existence of Streptococcus equi subspecies equi as probable agents of naturally occurring infection of the equine upper respiratory disease from the Equestrian club in Baghdad city. Nasal swabs and pus samples from 141 horses with upper respiratory tract infections were collected. Results indicated that different microorganisms were isolated and identified S. equi subsp equi (30 isolates), S. equi subsp zooepidemicus (14 isolates), S. equisimilus (9 isolates), Enterococcus. fecalis (17 isolates), Pasteurella spp. (29 isolates), Staphylococcus spp. (25 isolates), Bacillus spp. (24 isolates), Pseudomonas spp.(16 isolates), and E. coli (21 isolates). All 30 isolates of S. equi was characterized by biochemical tests. For molecular identification of the subspecies S. equi one genomic region SeM was amplified.
Twenty five local breed dogs divided to five groups and otitis extrna experimentally induced by scrashingthe ear canal with ( 9x10)8 cfu p6, biotype of pseudomonas aeruginosa . The control group showed theclinical signs beside the presence of neutrophils in the smears . The third group showed the clinical signsbeside the rupture of tympanic membrane in one of animal group and the recovery to the others in 4 weeksafter treathment withear washing acetic acid and boric acid and then local treatment with ciprofloxacin and dexamethazonebeside then local treatment with ciprofloxacin and dexamethazone beside we give ciprofloxacin orally . The fourth group recovered after 3 weeksof treatment with ear washing with Tris – EDTA beside acetic acid and boric acid and local treatment withciprofloxacin and dexamethazone beside giving cipro floxacin orally . The fifth group recoverd after4weeks of treatment with ear washing with Tris – EDTA and acetic acid and boric acid and local Treatmentonly with ciprofloxacin and dexamethazone
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
