THE OCCURRENCE, HEMOLYTIC ACTIVITY AND ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF MOTILE AEROMONAS SPP. ISOLATED FROM MEAT AND MILK SAMPLES IN TURKEY

Abstract

Research was carried out to detect the incidence of motile Aeromonas species (A. hydrophila, A. caviae, A. sobria) in a variety of raw meat products (minced meat and chicken) and milk samples (raw andpasteurized) commonly consumed in Ankara. Motile Aeromonas species were isolated from 51.8% of samples detected; these were 40 (67.7%) of the 59 samples of minced meat, 20 (86.9%) of the 23 samples of chicken, 75 (47.7%) of the 157 samples of raw milk and 5 (16.0%) of the 31 samples of pasteurized milk. The dominant species were Ahydrophila and A.sobria in the meat samples, while A. hydrophila was the only isolated species in the milk samples. The strains identified as A. sobria or A. hydrophila were the stronger producers of hemolysin, whereas the A. caviae strains were nonhemolytic. The resistance of isolates to eight antibiotics was determined using the Kirby Bauer disc difision assay (Ciprofloxacin, Ceftazidime, Ampicillin, Cefxime, Cefoperazone, Erythromycin, Trimethoprim /sulfamethoxazole, Ceftriaxone). All aeromonads isolates (1 00%) were susceptible to ciprofloxacin but resistant to (I 00%) ampicillin and erythromycin. We found out that motile Aeromonas species are commonlypresent in milkand meat samples investigated in Turkey, which may pose a health problem to consumer. In addition, ciprofloxacin, cefoperozone, and ceftriaxone are suitable drugs that can be used in the treatment of Aeromonas-associated infections, particularly in the immunocompromised, elderly people and young children.

The Occurrence, Hemolytic, Cytotoxic Activity and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Aeromonas hydrophila Isolated from Fish Samples in Baghdad

“…When we done the sensitivity test for different antibiotics we saw that our isolates have multiple drug resistant (100 %) to cloxacillin , ampicillin , bacitracin , and penicillin and were resistant to oxytetracycline 56.5% (n=22/39) , tetracycline 33.4% (n=13/39), cephoxetin 30.8% (n=12/39), chloramphinicol and kanamycin 28.2% (n=11/39), streptomycin 23.1% (n=9/39), rifampicin 15.4% (n=6/39) which agree with the results of Vivekanandhan (15) and Zheng (27) , while Hassan (28) found the isolates from fish were resistant to (amoxicillin, meropenem , oral cephalosporin , cefaclor, cephalexin , cephalothin , colistin) , Gold and Salit(29) found the resistance was to pencillin , ampicillin , flucloxacillin, carbencillin , cefuzolin , Abdel-Gwad and Abdel-Rahman (30) found in vitro susceptibility of the Aeromonas hydrophila isolates to a variety of antibiotics revealed to 100% of isolates were resistant to penicillin and ampicillin , Soliman(31) all isolates were resistant to (ampicillin, and novobiocin)the similar results recorded by Sohair and Eman (32) who reported that isolates were resistant to (penicillin ,ampicillin) , Kaskhedikar and Chhabra (14) show 100% of isolates were resistant to (ampicillin and colistin ) antibiotics . also Yucel &Ctak (16), Emekdas(17) Soliman (33) , Chardrakanthi (34) , reported that all isolates were 100% resistant to (penicillin and colistin ). All these resurges found the same resistant that it is may be due to the β-lactamase enzyme production of these isolates, so they agree with the results of our study which show 100% resistance to Cloxacillin , penicillin and ampicillin antibiotics , and from this results we find that these isolates have multiple drug resistance and we agree in this with Vivekanandhan (15) and Zheng (27) .…”

Isolation, identification and antibiogram profile of Aeromonas hydrophila from broiler chickens in Mymensingh Sadar, Bangladesh

“…from poultry sources compared to our findings have also been documented in previous study. Yucel and Citak (2003) detected motile aeromonads in 87% of poultry meat samples with predominance of Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas sobria strains. Some other studies on chicken samples performed by Yucel and Erdem (2004), Sarımehmetoglu and Kuplulu ( 2001) and Hanninen (1993) had found a higher contamination levels of 86.95%, 82.9% and 93% with Aeromonas spp.…”
