Abstract

This study was conducted to identify bacterial and fungal isolates of the normal eyes in working horses in Iran. Ninety swabs were taken from the conjunctival sac of 45 clinically healthy horses. Aerobic bacterial and fungal cultures were plated. A total of 9 different bacterial species (3 Gram-positive, 6 Gram-negative) and 7 different fungal species (6 molds, 1 yeast) were recovered. Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Klebsiella spp. were the most frequently isolated bacteria. Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp. were the most frequently recovered fungi. The microbial species isolated are comparable with studies performed on horses in other areas.

Özet

Bu çalışma, İran’da yaşayan sağlıklı yük atlarının gözünde bulunan bakteri ve mantar izolatlarının identifikasyonu amacıyla yapıldı. Klinik olarak sağlıklı görünen 45 atın konjunktival kesesinden 90 sürüntü örneği toplandı. Aerobik bakteri ve mantarlar yönünden ekimler yapıldı. 9 farklı bakteri (3 Gram-pozitif, 6 Gram-negatif ) ve 7 farklı mantar türü (6 küf, 1 maya) izole edildi. En fazla izole edilen bakterinin Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus spp. ve Klebsiella spp. olduğu belirlendi. En yaygın izole edilen mantar türlerinin ise Aspergillus spp. ve Penicillium spp. olduğu tespit edildi. Bu mikroorganizmaların farklı ülkelerde yaşayan atlardan izole edilenler ile benzer olduğu anlaşıldı.
