There was a statistically significant association between the health status of the camels as well as the anatomical site studied with the isolation rates of the major respiratory pathogens (p < 0.05). Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine comparatively the bacterial species associated with camels with and without pneumonic lungs, identify the Streptococci spp. Besides, there was a statistically significant difference between pneumonic and apparently healthy camels with the isolation rate of the major respiratory pathogens (except B. The pathogenic bacteria isolated during the present study period are comparable to those previously reported from the respiratory tract of apparently healthy camels (Ahmed and Musa 2015) . ./cache/cord-342314-nx0a3nvd.txt ./txt/cord-342314-nx0a3nvd.txt
