Bacteriological, pathological and biochemical studies on the urinary tract affections on cattle and buffaloes

الملخص EN

The goal of the present study was to screen the bacteriological, pathological and biochemical changes associated with the urinary tract affections in cattle and buffaloes and also to evaluate the diagnostic importance of urinary enzymes in urinary tract affections.

A total number 75animals, (45) cattle, and (30) buffaloes, were subjected to this study.

Fifteen cattle and 10 buffaloes were considered the control groups.

These animals were randomly selected.

Bacteriological examinations revealed that 80% of examined urine samples and 77.3% of examined organs samples were positive for bacterial isolation.

Samples from (kidney, ureter and urinary bladder) used for histopathologically examination.

This study, discussed pathological changes and relation to changes in urine consultants, with an increase in the urine and serum enzymes.

Bacterial isolated strains were, E coli resembled 34.66 %, Protests sp 32 %, Streptococcus facials 20 %, Staphylococcus aurous, 18.6 %, Klebsilla 18.6 %, and Salmonella sp.2.6 %.

According to the histopathologically findings, the animals under investigation were suffered from pyelonephritis, urethritis and cystitis.

Urine analysis is helpful in diagnosis of pyelonephritis, uretritis and cystitis.

There were a significant increase in serum levels of AST, ALT, LDH and ALP enzymes activities.

Significant increase in AST, and LDH enzymes activities in urine of cattle and buffaloes.

There were also, a marked increase in both ALT and ALP enzymes activities levels in urine of diseased animals in comparing with the normal levels.

Increased enzyme activities are considered reliable indicators of pathological changes in various tissues due to the real ease of intracellular enzymes from damaged tissue.

Increased activities of serum enzymes lead to increased activities of these enzymes in urine.
