Abstract:
One hundred and fifty stool samples (100 from children and 50 from calves) from human and animal cases suffering from diarrhoea were studied to determine the significance of different bacteria in the causation of the disease. Culture studies from cases of infantile diarrhoea yielded 32 strains of enteropathogenic E.coli, (0111 :K58(12 strains), 0124 055: k59 (7 strains), K72 (6 strains), 0125 : K70 (4 strains), 0128: K67(3, strains). 13 salmonella, 10 shigella and 4 pseudamonos. Isolates from calf diarrhoea included 15 strains of 0111 K58 (4 strains), 026 : K60 (1 strain), 055 : k59 (4 strains), 0128 : K67 enteropathogenic E. coil, (2 strains), 020a, 020c : K41 (2 strains), 020a, 220b : K84 (1 strains), 0112a, 0112c, K77 (1 strain), 10 Salmonella and 7 pseudomonas. The in vitro antibiotic sensitivity test revealed ampicillin and furoxon to be the most effective drugs.
