THE BACTERIAL SPECIES FOUND IN THE FECAL MATTER OF EUROPEAN BROWN RABBIT (Lepus europaeus Pallas,1778)

Öz

This study is based on the detection of bacterial species found in the fecal matter of European Brown rabbit (Lepus europaeus). The laboratory analysis of fecal matters are performed in two different periods. As a result, total nine bacterial species as Gram positive (+) ; Kocuira rosea , Aerococcus viridans , Staphylococcus warneri , Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Bacillus cereus and as Gram negative (-); Rhizobium radiobacter , Klebsiella pneumoniae , Klebsiella oxytoca and Echerichia coli were detected. Basillus cereus, among these nine species, was the only one forming endospores. This study states that the detected eight  bacterial species was noticed for  the relationship between rabbit and human because of their shared oppurtinistic behaviors both in rabbits and humans.

AVRUPA KAHVERENGİ TAVŞANI (Lepus europaeus Pallas,1778)’NIN DIŞKISINDA BULUNAN BAKTERİ TÜRLERİ

Öz

Bu çalışma, Avrupa Kahverengi tavşanının (Lepus europaeus) dışkısında bulunan bakteri türlerinin tespitine dayanmaktadır. Dışkıların laboratuvar analizi iki farklı periyotta gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçta, Gram positifler (+) olarak Kocuira rosea, Aerococcus viridans, Staphylococcus warneri, Staphylococcus saprophyticus ile Bacillus cereus ve Gram negatif (-) olarak Rhizobium radiobacter, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca ve Echerichia coli olarak toplam dokuz bakteri türü tespit edilmiştir. Bu dokuz tür arasından Bacillus cereus, endosporlar oluşturan tek türdür. Bu çalışma, tavşanlar ile insanların ortak olarak sahip oldukları fırsatçı davranışlarından dolayı tavşan ve insan arasındaki ilişkiye dikkat çeken sekiz bakteri türünün tespit edildiğini belirtmektedir.
