An investigation was undertaken to determine Enterobacteriaceae from faecal swabs of West African dwarf goats suffering from diarrhoea in the Nsukka area of Anambra State, Nigeria. In one academic year a total of 37 enteric bacteria were successfully recovered aseptically from 35 faecal swabs from caprine species. The predominant enterobacteria pathogens isolated from diarrhoeic goats and their relative percentage frequency of isolation were: 27 Escherichia (73%), 7 Proteus (19%) and 3 Shigella (8%). Of the total isolates 73% were Escherichia coli, 13% were Proteus morgani, 3% Proteus mirabilis, 3% Proteus vulgaris and 8% Shigella sonnei. Further work is required to elucidate the precise aetiologic role of these organisms in the pathogenesis of caprine diarrhoea in West African dwarf goats.
对尼日利亚阿南布拉州Nsukka地区患有腹泻的西非矮山羊粪便拭子中的肠杆菌科进行了调查，以确定其中的细菌种类。在一个学年中，从35份山羊粪便拭子中无菌成功分离出37株肠道细菌。从腹泻山羊中分离出的主要肠道病原菌及其相对分离频率为：27株大肠杆菌（73%）、7株变形杆菌（19%）和3株志贺氏菌（8%）。在所有分离菌株中，73%为大肠杆菌，13%为摩根氏变形杆菌，3%为奇异变形杆菌，3%为普通变形杆菌，8%为宋内志贺氏菌。需要进一步开展工作，以阐明这些微生物在西非矮山羊山羊腹泻发病机制中的确切病因作用。
