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.
