Characterization of clostridium perfringens, C. sordellii and aeromonas hydrophila isoiated from a case of haemorrhagic enteritis in camels (camelus dromedarius)‎

Abstract EN

The morphology and biochemical properties of Clostridium per-fringens, c.

sordellii and Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from camel enterotoxemia were investigated.

The morphology and growth of c.

perfringens was adversely affected by increasing concentrations of sodium chloride added to the medium.

The production of lecithinase by the organism was reduced by the usual concentration of lactose incorporated.

The three tested organisms had similar properties to those of corresponding reference strains or strains used for compari-son.
