Özet
The purposes of this study were to determine the profile of some Gram-negative bacteria in domestic pigeon intestinal microflora and isolated Enterococcus and E. coli strains to some antibiotics resistance were investigated by disc diffusion methods. For this purpose, cloacal swab samples were collected from a total of 215 pigeons from 8 different pigeon-houses, in Kirikkale, Turkey. A total of 180 isolates were obtained from 215 samples and these isolates were identified as 46% E. coli, 10% Enterobacter spp., 7% Shigella spp., 4.5% C. diversus, 3% K. ozoenae, % 1.5 B. dispar, 1% P. alcalifaciens, 1% S. rubidae and 25% Enterococcus spp. It was determined that the isolates of E. coli were not resistant to enrofloxacine and gentamicine, while, they were found resistant to ampicilin-sulbactam, nalidixic acide and oxytetracyclin at the rates of 70%, 49% and 64% respectively. Moreover, 42.3% of the E. coli strains were identified as positive for beta-lactamase activities.
