Abstract
Klebsiella species is a bacterial organism responsible for serious infections in both animals and people. This study try to spot highlights on the predominance of Klebsiella species among camels as well as screening of some virulence genes. For this purpose, 345 camel samples were taken, including 160 nasal swabs from camels with respiratory distress, off-feeding, or fever., severe nasal discharge, and depression, as well as organ samples (lung (90), trachea (40), intestine (30), and liver (25), were collected from east west coast border in Egypt. The results reported that Klebsiella species was isolated with 36.8% (127/345). By PCR iutA, fimH, and traT genes were detected in all strains with 100% and mrkA gene with 85 %. In conclusion, Klebsiella species is an important circulating pathogen among camel populations and carried several virulence genes that have a critical role in their pathogenicity and strict control measures should be applied to prevent serious infections and complications.

Key words: Camel, Klebsiella spp, PCR, virulence genes
