Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) Producing Escherichia coli from Cage Birds in Adana Region, Turkey

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli in caged birds. A total of 139 fecal swab samples were collected from cage birds from 14 different aviaries in Adana. ESBL producing E. coli was detected in 4.3% (n=6) of the fecal samples and these isolates harbored blaCTX-M-15 gene. ERIC-PCR analysis revealed three different band patterns among the isolates. These results indicate that cage birds are carrier of ESBL-producing E. coli. Therefore, further epidemiological studies are needed to determine the presence of resistant bacteria including ESBL producing E. coli in various animal species.

Adana Yöresinde Kafes Kuşlarından Geniş Spektrumlu Beta-Laktamaz (GSBL) Sentezleyen Escherichia coli İzolasyonu ve Moleküler Karakterizasyonu

Bu çalışmada, kafes kuşlarında geniş spektrumlu beta-laktamaz (ESBL) sentezleyen Escherichia coli varlığının araştırılması amaçlandı. Bu amaçla Adana’daki 14 farklı kafes kuşu satışı yapan işyerinden toplam 139 fekal svab örneği toplandı. İncelenen örneklerin %4.3’ünden (n=6) GSBL sentezleyen E. coli saptandı ve izolatların tamamında blaCTX-M-15 geni belirlendi. ERIC-PCR analizi izolatlar arasında üç farklı band patterni gösterdi. Bu sonuçlar kafes kuşlarının ESBL sentezleyen E. coli için taşıyıcı olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu nedenle, çeşitli hayvan türlerinde ve ortamlarda ESBL sentezleyen E. coli dahil dirençli bakterilerin varlığını belirlemek için daha fazla epidemiyolojik çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
