Identification and Phage Susceptibilities of Brusella Strains In Turkey Between the Years 2007 and 2008

Abstract

A total of 114 Brucella isolates consisting of 43 cattle, 61 sheep and goats, 8 human and 2 food origins were identified by conventional biotyping procedures. The results showed that 96% of cattle isolates was B. abortus biotype 3 and 4% was B.melitensis. One of B. melitensis was B.melitensis biotype 3 and the other was B. melitensis biotype 1. Of sheep and goat isolates, 65.6 % was B. melitensis biotype 3 and 29.5% was B. melitensis biotype 1. Three of the sheep strains (4.9 %) were identified as B. abortus biotype 3. None of the test strains was identified as B.abortus S19 ve B.melitensis Rev.1 vaccine strains. Seven out of 8 strains from humans were identified as B. melitensis biotype 3. One strain of human origin was lysed completely by R/C phage. This isolate was not agglutinated by anti M and anti A monospecific sera and was agglutinated by both R antisera and acriflavin displaying rough characteristics. Two of the strains from food (ice cream) were B. melitensis biotype 1 and B. melitensis biotype 3. Four of B. melitensis strains were are atypically susceptible to penicilin and 2 of the B. melitensis strains were evaluated as atypical regarding to their susceptibility to basic fuhsin (20 µg/ml). All the B.melitensis strains were tested for the susceptibility to the phages of Tbilisi, Berkeley, Weybridge, Izatnagar and R/C at routine test dilutions (RTD). Forty seven (67.2%), 15 (21.4%) and 8 (11.4%) out of 70 B. melitensis isolates conformed to phage typing pattern C, D and B, respectively.
