| Summary: | This investigation was performed on 800
milch sheep belonged two state farm in Konya region. Sheep
were examined by elinical procedures and tested with California
Mastitis test (CMT). Milk samples taken from sheep with
maStitis (CMT scores, ++/+++) w ere cultured in aerobic, microaerophlic
and anaerobic conditions for bacteriological and
mycological examination bacteria isolated and identified were
tested against Ampicillin, Streptomycin, Tetracyclin, Penicillin,
Kanamycin, Erytromycin, Gentamyem and Chloramphenicol
discs (Difco ).<p>
In this area, in the mammary glands of 13.5 % of the
-tested sheep, mastitis was detected. Although the rates of elinical
mastitis was 0.75 percent, subclinical mastitis in sheep
was 12.75 percent.<p>
Microbiologic isolation were succeded from (75.0 %)
81 samples of 108 mastitic milk. But, there was mix infection
in 8 samples.<p>
The percent values of isolated microorganisms were
found as below : 57.3 % Staph. aureus, 9.0 % for E. coli, 7.9
%for Bacillus ssp. 5.0% for B. cereus, 5.0% for C. pyogenes
(Actinomyces pyogenes), 3.4 % for Str. agalactiae, 3.4 % for
C. pyogenes (Actinomyces pyogenes), 3.4% for Sir. agalactiae,
3.4% for K. pneumoniae, 3.4 %for Candida albicans, 2.2
% for B. subtilis, 1.1 %for Str. dysgalactiae and 1.1 for Enterobacter
ssp.<p>
In antibiotic susceptibility tests, Staph. aureus isolates
were found to be sensitive to Tetracyclin, Chloramphenicol
and Erytromycin, at the rates of 76.0 %, 58.0 % and 38.0 %,
respectively. E. coli strains were sensitive to Streptomycin
(100 %) and Tetracyclin (100 %), C. pyogenes strains were
sensitive at the rates of 100 %, 80.0% and 80.0 %, for Penicillin,
Streptomycin and Chloramphenicol, respectively. |
