Serological And Molecular Diagnosis Of Paratuberculosis In Dairy Cattle, Kadi̇r Semi̇h Gümüşsoy, Tuba İça, Seçi̇l Abay, Fuat Aydin, Harun Hizlisoy

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, the presence of paratuberculosis was investigated by serological and molecular methods in herds of dairy cattle. Blood, milk, and stool samples of 147 cows aged 2 years old or older with chronic diarrhea were collected. A California mastitis test (CMT) was performed on milk samples. Indirect paratuberculosis enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test was used for serological investigation. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was utilized for molecular identification of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) from milk and stool samples. Immunomagnetic separation (IMS) method was used for milk and fecal samples. Eighteen (12.24%), 44 (29.93%), 36 (24.49%), 28 (19.05%), and …

The objective of the present study was to assess the presence of Listeria monocytogenes and to investigate its serotyping and antibiotic resistance in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods. A total of 100 RTE foods, including 25 stuffed mussels, 25 ezme samples (a Turkish-style tomato dip/condiment), 25 fried spiced livers, and 25 mayonnaise-based salads were obtained from retail shops and supermarkets in Samsun, Turkey. Samples were analyzed using the standard procedure EN ISO 11290-1 and isolates of L. monocytogenes were confirmed for the presence of the hemolysin gene (hylA) by polymerase chain reaction. L. monocytogenes was identified in 1 of 25 (4%) mayonnaise-based …


Comparison Of In Vitro And In Vivo Antibacterial Efficacy For The Control Of Flavobacterium Psychrophilum In Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss)Fry: The First Genotypical Evidence In West Aegean Region Of Turkey, Murat Boyacioğlu, Cavi̇t Kum, Şükrü Kirkan, Seli̇m Sekki̇n, Uğur Parin, Ümi̇t Karademi̇r, Ferda Akar Jan 2015

The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Flavobacterium psychrophilum and to examine the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of enrofloxacin (ENR), doxycycline (DOX), and florfenicol (FFC) treatment in rainbow trout fry (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) against F. Psychrophilum. A total of 220 naturally infected rainbow trout fry were examined and 26 bacterial isolates were phenotypically and genotypically identified. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of ENR, DOX, and FFC were determined. ENR was the most active, with an MIC for 90% of the isolates (MIC90) of 4 µg/mL. DOX was less active, with an MIC90 of 32 µg/mL …
