Beta-lactam, aminoglycoside, and quinolone resistance in strains isolated from shrimps and mussels in the Marmara Sea.

The purpose of the study was to examine the prevalence of  in shrimps and mussels, and to determine the distribution of β-lactam, aminoglycoside, quinolone, and multi-drug resistance phenotypically and genotypically in  isolates obtained from mussels and shrimps in Istanbul. Faecal samples were collected from mussels ( = 96) and shrimps ( = 96) from the Marmara Sea coastline and fish markets in Istanbul. For the detection of antibiotic susceptibilities, seven antibiotic groups were used.

Efficacy of inactivated paraimmune activator as a prophylaxis against mastitis and therapy for subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle.

Mastitis is the most important disease in dairy cattle industry because of its high economic losses both in herd management, milk and milk products. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of inactivated (IPPVO) Para immune activator as a prophylaxis against mastitis and as the therapy for subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle. The prophylactic effects of IPPVO were investigated in California mastitis test (CMT).

Phenotypic and Genotypic Examination of Antimicrobial Resistance in Thermophilic Species Isolated from Poultry in Turkey.

Introduction: The study aimed to isolate thermophilic from chickens raised three rearing methods, determine its antimicrobial susceptibilities, and examine resistance-related genes by PCR.

Material And Methods: Cloacal swabs or intestinal contents were taken in Istanbul, Sakarya, and Izmir provinces. Chickens were from small village-based family-run businesses (n = 70), organically raised (n = 71), and conventionally raised broilers (n = 79).

Bacterial species isolated from cats with lower urinary tract infection and their susceptibilities to cefovecin.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the bacterial species recovered from 61 cats with lower urinary tract infection (LUTI), and their susceptibility to cefovecin in vitro.

Results: The clinical signs and final clinical diagnosis for cats with confirmed LUTI were also reported. After physical examination of the cats, urine samples including ≥5-6 leucocytes in microscopic evaluation were cultured using bacteriological techniques.
