Klinik Mastitli Köpeklerden Alınan Süt Örneklerinde Aerobik Bakteri Muayenesi

Köpek mastitisi genellikle postpartum dönemde veya bazen de hayali gebelik süreci geçiren köpeklerde oluşabilmektedir. On yedi köpeğin klinik olarak ve sütlerininde bakteriyolojik olarak muayenesi yapılmış ve sonuçlar değerlendirilmiştir. Örneklerin muayenesi sonucunda köpek sütünden en fazla Staphylococcus intermedius (n=11) izole edilmiş, bunu Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, S. aureus, Citrobacter freundii, S. epidermidis ve S. hyicus izlemiştir. Yapılan antibiyogram testine göre ise izolatlar en fazla gentamisin’e, en az ise cefiksim’e duyarlı bulunmuştur. Çalışmamızda nispeten az sayıda hayvan olduğu için bu konuyla ilgili daha sonra yapılabilecek çalışmalar küçük hayvanla uğraşan veteriner hekimler için yararlı olacaktır. Yine şehir hayatında insanlar köpeklerle çok yakın bir şekilde yaşadıklarından S. intermedius’un zoonotik geçişi ile ilgili çalışmalar yapılabilir.

Examination of Aerobic Bacteria from Milk Samples of Bitches with Clinical Mastitis

Canine mastitis occurs primarily during the postpartum period and may also occur during pseudopregnancy, as well as after early weaning of puppies. Clinical and bacteriological examinations of mammary secretion were performed in 17 bitches and results of the bacteriological examination of milk samples were evaluated. Staphylococcus intermedius (n=11) was the predominant isolate from the canine milk while the other microorganisms were Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, S. aureus, Citrobacter freundii, S. epidermidis and S. hyicus. According to the antimicrobial susceptibility test results, isolates were found mostly to be sensitive to gentamycin, while cefixime was detected as the least effective antimicrobial agent. As we had limited number of dogs in our study, further studies on this subject will be helpful for the veterinarians working with pet animals. Because dogs and humans live very closely in urban life style zoonotic transmissibility of S. intermedius shall be of interest to examine further in the future.
