چکیده

Five (5) litres each of raw urine obtained from apparently five healthy domesticated female camels (Camelus dromedarius) at Kwakwalawa village of Sokoto, Sokoto State, Nigeria were analysed for their microbial content using standard methods. The urine samples (U1-U5) were obtained overnight whenever the female camels were urinating by placing open plastic bowls to trap the urine with the aid of skilled camel attendants. Bacteriological culture and biochemical identification of the isolates found was done in accordance with standard protocols as described by UK Standards for Microbiological Investigation (SMI), 2017. Result of the microbial investigation showed E coli sub spp 0157:H7 and Salmonella spp found in U1 sample while detected in U2 sample were Citrobacter pneurelli and S. aureus only. There was no any microbial presence found in samples U3, U4 and U5. In conclusion, the few studied raw urine samples of camels’ revealed minimal picture of microbial contamination of the collected samples, even though very few.
