| Popis: | In this trial,Enterococcusstrains were isolated from a total of 69 faecal samples obtained from 238 pigs (105 pigs < 6 months old and 133 > 6 months old) on three pig farms located in Istanbul and Tekirdag Provinces in the Marmara Region of Turkey in the summer season of 2003. Forty-seven of the isolates were determined asEnterococcus faecium(68%), 15 isolates asEnterococcus faecalis(21.7%), three isolates asEnterococcus gallinarum(4.3%) and one of each asEnterococcus hirae(1.4%),Enterococcus casseliflavus(1.4%),Enterococcus cecorum(1.4%)andEnterococcus sulfurens(1.4%). In addition, antimicrobial susceptibilites of isolates were assessed through the disk diffusion method. Among 47E. faeciumisolates, 44 were determined to be resistant to erythromycin, 38 to ciprofloxacine, and three isolates were resistant to vancomycin. AllE. faecalisisolates were resistant to erythromycin (100%) and four were resistant to vancomycin (27%). FiveE. faecium(11%) and fiveE. faecalisisolates (33%) were found to exhibit intermediate resistance to vancomycin. In this study, isolates obtained from pig faeces were determined to exhibit a high rate of antimicrobial resistance. This study is the first report on isolation and determination of antimicrobial resistance of Enterocci in Turkey. |
