Abstract

To investigate possible changes in bronchoalveolar BAL composition in camels with bacterial infection, we inoculated camels intratracheally with Pasteurella haemolytica. Phospholipids in BAL were determined with the help of High - performance liquid chromatography HPLC. There was a significant decrease in Dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine DPPC and phosphatidylglycerol PG with concomitant non-significant increase in the other phospholipid species. These changes may indicate damage of alveolar type II cells and or metabolic disturbance in the pulmonary surfactant.
