Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Fecal Streptococci İsolated From Kilis Surface Water Bodies

Abstract

In this present study, it is aimed to investigate the fecal streptococcus pollution frequency and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of isolates in surface water samples taken from 2 different location, Kilis. Fecal streptocccus number of water samples taken in September 2020, was determined as 11 MPN (most probable number)/100 mL. It was detected that fecal streptococcal isolates were resistant to clindamycin, tetracycline and erythromycin standard antibiotics and the multiple antibiotic resistance index was 0.48. As a result, bacteriological contamination of fecal originated and multi-resistant streptococci in the Kilis surface water locations threatens the balance in the ecosystem.

Kilis Yüzeysel Su Kaynaklarından İzole Edilen Fekal Streptokokların Antibiyotik Hassasiyet Profilleri

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Kilis ilinde 2 farklı lokasyondan alınan yüzeysel su örneklerindeki fekal streptokok kirlenmesi ve izolatların antibiyotik hassasiyet profillerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Eylül 2020’de alınan su örneklerinin fekal streptokok bakteri sayısı 11 EMS (en muhtemel sayı)/100 mL olarak tespit edilmiştir. Fekal streptokok izolatlarının klindamisin, tetrasiklin ve eritromisin standart antibiyotiklere direnç gösterdikleri ve çoklu antibiyotik direnç indeksi 0.48 olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Kilis yüzeysel su lokasyonlarındaki fekal kaynaklı ve çoklu dirence sahip streptokoklara ilişkin bakteriyolojik kirlenme, ekosistemdeki dengeyi tehdit eder düzeydedir.
