Study and Identification of Uterine Bacterial Flora of She-Camel During Postpartum

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: To identify the uterine bacterial flora and for a deeper understanding of pathologies related to the female genital tract, 10 camels were monitored during the postpartum period, and uterine swabs were collected. From the 84 samples, 354 bacterial strains were isolated and identified, including 80.2% Staphylococcus species and 19.8% Streptococcus species. No Gram-negative bacteria could be isolated. The bacterial load was very high during the first week, and then regressed and increased by day 30. The uterine bacterial flora of the camel is rich in lactic acid bacteria, ensuring a high level of local defense of the uterus.
