Detection of Virulence Properties Escherichia coli Originated From Poultry by Phenotypic and Molecular Methods

Bu calismada, kolibasillozisli kanatli hayvanlardan izole edilen 200 adet Escherichia (E.) coli susunda, ozellikle ekstra-intestinal infeksiyonlar icin onemli olan virulens faktorlerinden serum direnci, aerobaktin demir elde etme sistemleri, cesitli adezinler (Tip 1 fimbrialar, P fimbrialar, S fimbrialar ve afimbrial adezinler), hemoliz ve sitotoksik nekrotizan faktor 1 gibi virulens ozellikleri fenotipik yontemlerle ve molekuler yontemlerle arastirildi. Calismada, suslar koyun kanli agar kullanilarak yapilan testle hemoliz uretimi ve molekuler olarak hemoliz ozelligini kodlayan gen yonunden negatif bulundu. Suslarin tamaminin demir kisitlayici besiyerinde uredigi ve bu suslarin %88’inin aerobaktin ozelligini kodlayan IucD genine sahip olduklari saptandi. Vero hucre kulturleri kullanilarak yapilan toksin analizlerinde suslarin %40’inda isiya duyarli toksin belirlenirken suslarin hic birinde fenotipik ve molekuler olarak sitotoksik nekrotizan faktor 1 belirlenmedi. Insan O grubu ve degisik hayvanlara ait eritrositler kullanilarak yapilan hemaglutinasyon testi ile suslarin %90’inda hemaglutinasyon aktivitesi saptandi ve bunlarin %26’si mannoz resistans hemaglutinasyon ozelliginde oldugu belirlendi. Tip 1 fimbrialari kodlayan FimH geni suslarin %88’inde, P fimbrialari kodlayan PapEF geni %26’sinda bulundu ve bu izolatlarin %14’u ayni zamanda PapC genini de bulundurdugu saptandi. Ancak, suslarda S fimbrialar ve afimbrial adezinleri kodlayan Sfa ve Afa genleri belirlenemedi. Degisik hayvanlara ait serumlarla yapilan testte suslarin tamaminda serum direnci fenotipik olarak saptandi ve serum direncinden sorumlu TraT geni suslarin %90’inda PCR ile belirlendi. Bu calismada elde edilen sonuclara gore, kanatli orijinli E. coli suslarinda en onemli virulens ozelliklerinin aerobaktin demir elde etme sistemleri, fimbrial adezinler ve serum direnci oldugu belirlenmistir
