| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> In this study, it was aimed to determine microbiological
examination of cloacal swab specimens taken from Long-legged
Buzzards (Buteo rufinus) and antibiotic resistance of isolated
Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> The cloacal swab specimens were
obtained from 24 Long-legged Buzzards which were admitted
to Afyon Kocatepe University Veterinary Faculty clinics. The
samples were cultured on different media for various bacteria
(Salmonella species, E. coli, Mycoplasma, Gram-positive cocci,
etc.). The media were incubated at 37°C in aerobic and microaerophilic
conditions. ISO 6579 protocol was applied for Salmonella.
In addition, antibiotic susceptibilities of the isolated
bacteria were determined.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Twenty-four E. coli were isolated from all cloacal swab
samples. In addition, Enterococcus faecalis was isolated from
one sample. While all E. coli isolates were susceptible to florfenicol
and ciprofloxacin, other antibiotics were found to be susceptible
at different rates.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> This study is important because it is the first microbiological
examination of cloacal swaps of Long-legged Buzzards
in this Country. In addition, it was significantly evaluated
that E. coli strains were resistant to various antibiotics with different
ratios while no antibiotics are used using antibiotics in
Long-legged Buzzards. |
