First Isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Ear Abscess of a RedEared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)

This case report is the first of the isolation and identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a female, one year old red-eared slider hospitalized at the Surgery Clinics of Veterinary Faculty, Bingol University, Turkey, for unilateral ear abscess. Susceptibility of the agent to several antibiotics was also tested

Kırmızı Yanaklı Bir Su Kaplumbağasının Kulak Apsesinden Pseudomonas aeruginosa’nın İlk İzolasyonu

Bu olgu sunumunda tek taraflı kulak apsesi şikayeti ile Bingöl Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Cerrahi Kliniğine getirilen bir yaşlı dişi kırmızı yanaklı bir su kaplumbağasından ilk kez Pseudomonas aeruginosa’nın izolasyonu ve identifikasyonu yapıldı. Ayrca bu etkenin antibiyotiklere olan duyarlılılıkları araştırıldı
