BİR MUHABBET KUŞUNDA ASPERGİLLUS ENFEKSİYONU

Öz

Tüy dökülmesi ve kaşıntı şikâyeti ile Veteriner Fakültesi Mikrobiyoloji Anabilim Dalına canlı olarak getirilen 1 yaşında bir muhabbet kuşundan alınan tüy örnekleri mikolojik olarak incelendi. Bu amaçla tüy örneklerinden Sabouraud Dekstroz Agar (SDA) ve kloramfenikol içeren SDA besiyerlerine ekim yapıldı. İnkübasyon süresi sonunda üreyen küf kolonilerinin; koloni büyüklüğü ve rengi, yüzey görünümü, pigment oluşumu makroskobik olarak değerlendirildi. Kolonilerden Laktofenol pamuk mavisi (LFPM) ile pereparatlar hazırlanarak, mikroskopta konidiaforun uzunluğu, vesikülün şekli ve genişliği, konidianın şekli gibi özellikler açısından mikroskobik muayene yapıldı. Üreyen iki koloni makroskobik ve mikroskobik incelemeleri sonucu Aspergillus flavus (yeşil koloni) ve Aspergillus niger (siyah koloni) olarak tanımlandı.

Aspergillus Infection in a Budgerigar

Öz

In this study, feather samples taken from a one-years-old budgerigar with the complaint of hair loss and itching brought live to Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine were examined mycologically. For this purpose, the feather samples were plated on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) and SDA medium containing chloramphenicol. Mildew colonies that grow at the end of the incubation period; colony size and color, surface appearance, pigment formation evaluated macroscopically. Smears prepared from colonies were stained with Lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB) and microscopic examination was performed in terms of the length of the conidiaphor, the shape and width of the vesicle, and the shape of the conidia. Macroscopic and microscopic examination of the two colonies revealed Aspergillus flavus (green colony) and Aspergillus niger (black colony).
