Abstract

A bacteriological survey of the nasopharynx and pharynx of nine buffaloes and forty cattle with emphasis on pasteurella multocida was conducted. The major organisms isolated from the buffaloes were streptococcus aureus, streptococcus species and moraxella species while from the cattle acinetobacter species, staphylococcus aureus and moraxella species. The isolation of E.coli and bacillus subtilis were considered as fecal contaminant. Two buffaloes had pasteurella multocida in their nasopharynx and pharynx while four cattle had pasteurella multocida in their pharynx. Pasteurella multocida was isolated from the retropharyngeal lymph node of six buffaloes and seven cattle by the mouse innoculation technique but none of their organism was found in the nasopharynx and pharynx by the same technique. Results of the serological test suggested that there were no relationship between the immune level and the isolation of pasteurella multocida
