Abstract

In present study the isolation of 3 strains of Brucella abortus has been considered very significant because they were isolated from 3 cows which were serologically positive for brucellosis. The infected animals may easily transmit brucellosis to human being by direct or indirect contact. The 3 strains of isolated bacteria were highly sensitive to streptomycine, ciprofloxin, chloramphenicol, norfloxacin and sensitive to kanamycin, rifampicin, tetracycline and resistant to amoxicillin, bacitracin, neomycin, penicillin, sulphadiazine and erythromycin.
