Screening alternative antibiotics against Paenibacillus larvae subsp. larvae strains isolated from the different regions of Turkey

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin farklı bölgelerinden izole edilen Paenibacillus larvae larvae’nin farklı suşlarının, 6 adet antibiyotiğe karşı duyarlılığını araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar duyarlıklık düzeyinin çeşitlilik gösterdiğini göstermiştir. En az aktivite gösteren antibiyotikler, azithromisin ve tobramisin olmuştur. Eritromisin orta derecede etkili bir antibiyotik olarak tanımlanmıştır. Rifampin, amoksisilin klavunolik asit ve sülbaktam ampisillin ise en etkili antibiyotikler olarak saptanmıştır. Ancak, rifampin tüberküloz hastalığına karşı kullanıldığından, bu bileşiğin tarımsal alanda kullanılması uygun değildir

Türkiye'nin farklı bölgelerinden izole edilen P.larvae larvae suşlarına karşı alternatif antibiyotiklerin taranması

In this study, the sensivity of different strains of Paenibacillus larvae larvae collected from different regions of Turkey to 6 antibiotics was investigated The results showed that the level of sensivity varied. The least active antibiotics were azithromycin and tobramycin. Erythromycin was determined as an intermediate active antibiotic. Rifampin, amoxycillin clavunolic acid and sulbactam ampicillin were the most active antibiotic tested, but rifampin is used against tuberculosis, and registration of this compound for agricultural use is unlikely.
