Abstract

A total of 70 gall bladder samples from sheep were examined bacteriolo gicaily and histogically. Although the results of histological examination were negative, a variety of organisms was isolated including E.coli, Citro bacter sp., Proteus sp., shigella, Serratia, Yersinia, Anthracoid and Pro videncia. It seems that these organisms were normal inhabitants of the gall bladder rather than pathogenic ones.
