Abstract

The enteral contents of 55(16 males and 39 females)hippopotamus(Hippopotamus amphibius)were collected in July 1995 during the first culling exercise in South Luangwa game management area in Zambia. Among all bacteria isolates, 41%(246/596)and 29 %(57/198)were Gram positive while 59 %(350/596)and 71 %(141/198)were Gram nagative in small and large intestines respectively. The proportions of aquatic bacteria among Gram positive isolates from small and large intestines were 43 %(105/246)and 28 %(16/57), respectively. Among Gram negative isolates, 53 %(185/350)and 45 %(63/141)in small and large intestine were aquatic bacteria, respectively.
