Virulence factors of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis strains isolated from humans and pets

Öz:

Bu çalışmada, insan, köpek ve kedilere ait dışkı örneklerinden izole edilen 146 Enterococcus faecium ve 32 Enterococcus faecalis susunun virülens faktörleri araştırıldı. Toplam 178 suş, jelatinaz, agregasyon substansı, sitolizin ve lam hemaglütinasyon testleri yönünden incelendi. £. faecium ve E. faecalis suşlarında incelenen virülens faktörleri sırasıyla jelatinaz % 17,1, % 37,5; agregasyon substansı % 13, % 12,5; sitolizin % 7,5, % 12,5; tavşan eritrositleri ile hemaglütinasyon % 9,6, % 9,4 ve insan eritrositleri ile hemaglütinasyon ise % 17,1, % 21,9 olarak belirlendi.

İnsan ve pet hayvanlarından izole edilen Enterococcus faecium ve Enterococcus faecalis suşlarının virülens faktörleri

Öz:

The virulence factors of 146 Enterococcus faecium and 32 Enterococcus faecalis strains isolated from faecal samples of humans, dogs, and cats were investigated. In total, 178 strains were examined by gelatinase (GelE), aggregation substance (AS), cytolysin, and slide haemagglutination tests. The results of detected virulence factors of E. faecium and E. faecalis strains were: GelE: 17.1% vs. 37.5%; AS: 13% vs. 12.5%; cytolysin: 7.5% vs. 12.5%; haemagglutination activities with rabbit erythrocytes: 9.6% vs. 9.4%; haemagglutination activities with human erythrocytes: 17.1% vs. 21.9%, respectively.
