Abstract

Objective: Comparative performance status of CHROMagar O157 (CHROM) sorbitol-MacConkey (SMAC) media for the detection of Escherichia coli (E.coli) O157 in stool specimens isolated from 339 children under 5 years of age who presented with acute gastroenteritis between September 2008 and September 2010 was determined. Methods: Stool specimens were inoculated onto Sorbitol-MacConkey agar (SMAC), CHROMagar O157, Selenit F, Salmonella-Shigella (SS) and MacConkey agars. All plates were incubated aerobically for 24 to 48 h at 35°C. Colorless colonies on the SMAC plate and mauve colonies on the CHROM plate were selected for further identification by conventional biochemical tests as well as by semi-automated system. Colonies confirmed to be E.coli were screened for O157 antigen by Dry spot E.coli O157 latex particle agglutination test. Results: In 339 stool samples examined, Salmonella spp was isolated in 14 (4.1%), and Shigella spp. in 11 (3.2%), while Escherichia coli O157 was detected in only 1 (0.3%) sample. Suspect E.coli O157 stains grew on 8 CHROMagar (2.1%; 8/339) and 14 SMAC (14/339; 3.8%) plates. Rate of false positivity for colony picks from SMAC (n=13; 65%) media was almost 2-fold higher than that for CHROM (n=7; 35%). Conclusion: Routine use of chromogenic media for the investigation of E.coli O157’nin in the selected cases with bloody diarrhea is deemed appropriate.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Ekim 2008-Ekim 2010 tarihleri arasında 0-5 yaş arası 339 akut gastroenterit olgusundan alınan dışkı örneklerinde Escherichia coli O157 prevalansı ve etkenin saptanmasında konvansiyonel besiyeri Sorbitol-MacConkey agar (SMAC) ile kromojenik besiyeri CHROMagar O157’nin etkinliği araştırılmıştır. Yöntemler: Dışkı örnekleri SMAC, CHROMagar, Selenit F, Salmonella-Shigella (SS) ve MacConkey agara ekilmiştir. Tüm plaklar 35°C, aerobik ortamda 24-48 saat inkübe edilmiştir. SMAC besiyerinde oluşan şeffaf koloniler ve CHROMagar’da oluşan pembe-mor renkli şüpheli koloniler konvansiyonel ve yarı otomatize sistem ile ileri identifikasyon için seçilmiştir. E. coli olarak tanımlanan kolonilerde O157 antijeni Dry spot E.coli O157 Lateks Aglutinasyon testi ile araştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 339 dışkı örneğinin 14’ünde (%4.1) Salmonella spp ve 11’inde (%3,2) Shigella spp. ve 1’inde (0.3) E. coli O157 saptanmış olup, izole edilmiştir. E. coli O157 araştırılan 339 SMAC besiyerinin 14 (%3,8)’ünde, 339 CHROMagar besiyerinin 8 (%2,1)’inde şüpheli koloni saptanmıştır. Her iki besiyerinde 1 plakta E. coli O157 tanımlanmıştır. SMAC besiyerinde CHROM besiyerinin iki katına yakın (SMAC: 13 - CHROM: 7) yalancı pozitiflik saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Sonuç: E. coli O157’nin rutinde kanlı diyaresi olan seçilmiş olgularda araştırılmasının ve tanısında kromojenik besiyerinin kullanımının uygun olduğu düşünülmüştür.
