L'histologie des lésions dues à Nocardia farcinica a été faite sur des ganglions de zébus tchadiens prélevés à l'abattoir de Fort-Lamy. Du fait de la ressemblance de ces lésions, par leur localisation et leur aspect macroscopique avec celles de la ...

Dog bites lead to bacterial infections. Isolation and identification of zoonotic bacterial species from the oral cavities of indigenous dogs using biochemical tests were carried out. The antibiotic susceptibility profile of the commonly identified bacteria species was established using Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion approach.
