Abstract
Q
fever is one of the important zoonotic infections which is seen in many parts
of the world. Because the isolation of the agent is difficult and time
consuming as well as the isolation and identification of the agent requires to
be done under biosafety level-3 (BSL-3) conditions, the diagnosis of the
disease is largely based on molecular and serological techniques. The aim of
this study was to detect Coxiella burnetii
accurately and quickly for routine
diagnosis of the disease from the clinical samples by using real time PCR
and to detect the presence of the C. burnetii
in Şanlıurfa District. A total of 202
abortus materials kept at -80°C and previously brought to Harran University
Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Department of Microbiology for diagnosis and 25
aborted materials brought to our lab during this study period were tested by
Real-Time PCR. For Real-Time PCR analysis, a commercial C. burnetii Real-Time PCR kit was used including positive
controls. Besides, a classical PCR was performed by using a pair of primers
which amplifies a 74-bp fragment of the com
1 gene of C. burnetii, which is
highly conserved region in the genom of agent and amplicons were visualized in
the 4% agarose gel. Four out of 227 test samples (1.8%) samples were found
positive by both Real-Time and classical PCR test. In the end of the study, it
was concluded that this important zoonotic agent could be determined fast and
reliable and contribute to take necessary preventive measures on time.

Abstract
Q
fever dünyanın birçok ülkesinde görülen önemli zoonotik infeksiyonlardan
biridir. Etkenin kültürünün zor ve uzun zaman alıcı olmasının yanında Biyogüvenlik
seviyesi-3 (Biosafety level-3) BSL-3 koşullarında gerçekleştirilmesi
gerekliliği, hastalığın teşhisinin geniş oranda moleküler ve serolojik olmasını
sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmada, ruminantlarda abortusa neden olan bu önemli
patojenin rutin teşhiste Real-Time PCR ile hızlı ve doğru bir şekilde
saptanması ve Şanlıurfa yöresinde hastalığın varlığının belirlenmesi amaçlandı.
Çalışmada Harran Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Mikrobiyoloji Anabilim Dalına
teşhis amaçlı getirilmiş olan ve -80 ºC’de saklanan toplam 202 adet sığır, keçi
ve koyun atık materyali ve çalışma döneminde gelen 25 atık materyali Real-Time
PCR tekniği ile incelendi. Bu amaçla
içinde pozitif kontrol içeren Coxiella burnetii
Real-Time PCR kiti kullanıldı. Ayrıca test edilen C. burnetii suşları arasında son derece korumalı bir bölge olan C. burnetii com 1 geninin74-bp lik bir fragmentini amplifiye eden primer
çiftleri kullanılarak klasik PCR yapıldı ve elde edilen amplikonlar agaroz jelde
görüntülendi. Çalışmada incelenen toplam 227 adet atık materyalinden 4 adedi
(%1,8) hem Real-Time PCR hem de klasik PCR ile pozitif bulundu. Çalışmanın
sonucunda önemli bir zoonoz olan bu ajanın hızlı ve güvenli bir şekilde tespit
edilebildiği ve gerekli kontrol önlemlerinin alınmasına katkıda bulunacağı
kanaatine varıldı.
