Abstract

In this study, the epidemiology some of the important bacterial and fungal agents that cause infertility in purebred arabian horses was investigated in Sanliurfa province. For this purpose, 50 uterus swabs taken from mares with infertility problems were examined bacteriologically. While only 6 (12%) uterus swabs exhibitted growth, there was growth in the 44 (88%) swabs. Bacterial agents isolated were identified as 20 β heamolytic streptococci (45.4%), 8 E. coli (18.2%), 5 S. aureus (11.4%), 5 Lactobacillus spp. (11.4%), 3 Micrococcus spp. (6.8%) and 3 Acinetobacter spp. (6.8%). Cultures prepared for fungal agents resulted in 4 (33,3%) isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus and 8 isolates of Candida albicans (66,7%). There was no growth for T. equigenitalis. In conclusion, β-heamolytic streptoccocci were isolated the most from mares having infertility problems in Sanliurfa province. Isolation of both the bacterial and the fungal agents from mares with infertility showed that it might be worthwhile consider the to add antifungal agents in the treatment and protection programs of horses with infertility.

Özet

Bu çalışmada Safkan Arap atlarında infertiliteye neden olan önemli bakteriyel ve mikotik etkenlerin, Şanlıurfa bölgesindeki epidemiyolojileri araştırıldı. Bu amaçla infertilite problemi olan 50 kısraktan alınan uterus svapları bakteriyolojik olarak incelendi. Elli kısraktan alınan uterus svaplarının 6 (%12)sından üreme olmazken, 44 (%88)ünden üreme saptandı. Üreyen bakteriyel etkenlerin 20 (%45.4)si β-hemolitik streptokok, 8 (%18.2)i Escherichia coli (E. coli), 5 (%11.4)i Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), 5 (%11.4)i Lactobacillus spp., 3 (%6.8)ü Micrococcus spp. ve 3 (%3.8)ü Acinetobacter spp. olarak saptandı. Ayrıca mantar yönünden yapılan ekimler sonucunda 4 (%33.3) Aspergillus fumigatus ve 8 (%66.7) Candida albicans izole edildi. Taylorella equigenitalis (T. equigenitalis) yönünden yapılan ekimlerde üreme saptanmadı. Sonuç olarak, Şanlıurfa bölgesinde infertilite problemi olan atlardan en sık β-hemolitik streptokoklar izole edildi. İnfertil kısraklardan, bakteriyel etkenler yanında mantar etkenlerinin de izole edilmesi, tedavi ve koruma programlarında mantar etkenlerinin de göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiği kanısına varıldı.
