METHODS: Our study material consisted of 247 uterine swabs from horses, 56 heifers, and 32 vaginal swabs from cows in different regions. In bacteriological examination, the samples were incubated in Fluid Thioglycollate Medium (BBL; 221196) at 37 C for 24 hours. After incubation, isolation studies were carried out on EMB agar (Eosin Methylen-Blue Lactose-Saccharose, BBL; 221355) and Blood Agar (BBL; 297876). Identification of pure cultures obtained as a result of bacterial isolation studies was performed using BBL crystal (Becton-Dickinson, Sparks, USA) Gram positive and Gram negative ID system kits and computer program.RESULTS: Acinetobacter lwoffii was isolated from 247 uterine swabs from horses and 56 vaginal swabs from heifers (respectively, n= 4 and n= 3), while Acinetobacter johnsonii was determined from 32 vaginal swabs from cows (n= 3). Among the antibiotics tested by disk diffusion method, amikacin and doxycycline were found to be 100% effective against Acinetobacter lwoffii which was isolated most frequently in horses. In addition to these two antimicrobial agents, 100% susceptibility was detected against netilmicin and ampicillin/sulbactam in heifers where the same agent was isolated. In the antimicrobial susceptibility test applied to Acinetobacter lwoffii isolated in cows, 100% susceptibility was found to ofloxacin in addition to the antimicrobials showing 100% susceptibility in heifers.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Acinetobacter spp. may also represent a serious public health problem due to recent evidence of transmission between animals and humans. Therefore, we believe that expanding the knowledge … |
