Antimicrobial Effect of Camel Urine in Some Human Pathogenic Bacteria
Keywords:
Camel urine, Antimicrobial activity, Pathogenic bacteria, Disc diffusion, SudanAbstract
Introduction: Camel’s urine has numerous uses, which are beneficial for man, although some study had proved that camel’s urine has a lethal effect on bacterial, there is very little information about the antimicrobial effects of camel urine on various microbial infecting to human beings.
Objective: study antimicrobial activity of camel urine against some bacteria isolated from human and to isolate bacteria that may found in the camel urine.
Methods: Fifty samples of camel urine were tested for their antimicrobial activity using Mueller-Hinton Agar. As camel urine is used for treatment in humans; all isolates tested were human sources S. aureus, E. coli; Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, were used in the test.
Results: Tested bacteria showed resistance to all camels' urine samples, camels' urines samples were cultured in basic media, 11 bacteria were isolated include 7 gram negative bacteria and 4 gram positive
Conclusion: antimicrobial sensitivity of camel urine showed that there was no in vitro effect to the tested bacteria, different type of gram positive and gram negative bacteria were isolated.
