Serotiplendirilemeyen Grup B Streptokokların Biyotiplendirilmesi

Abstract

Bu araştırmada serotiplendirilemeyen Grup B Streptokok (GBS)’ların biyokimyasal yöntemlerle sınıflandırılması amaçlandı. Sığırlardan izole edilen 81 izolatın 40 (%49.4)’ı ve 93 insan izolatının 30 (%32.3)’u tavşanlardan elde edilen serotip monospesifik antiserumların kullanıldığı koaglütinasyon testi ile serotiplendirilemedi. Serotiplendirilemeyen izolatlardan elde edilen bazı biyokimyasal test sonuçlarının istatistiksel dendogram analizleri yapılarak her biri sınıflandırmaya tabi tutuldu. Sığır orijinli izolatlar 4 farklı biyotipte sınıflandırılırken insan orijinli izolatlarda 3 farklı biyotip saptandı. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen biyotip modellerinin sığır ve insan orijinli GBS izolatlarının identifikasyonunda yardımcı olabileceği ve GBS kapsamında Streptococcus agalactiae dışında adlandırılmayan başka izolatların da olabileceği kanaatine varıldı
