Abstract

Mastitis is diseases of dairy cows with a high economic impact. Bovine mastitis is caused by a wide range of bacterial pathogens. As one of the major environmental pathogens Klebsiella ssp. was investigated in this study by some phenotypic characteristics like antibiotic resistance patterns and biofilm formation properties. A number of 483 cows by dairy farms around the Konya were examined by California Mastitis Test (CMT) producing 36 positive in terms of subclinical mastitis. A further 19 samples from clinical mastitic udders were also collected. Samples were inoculated onto Trypticase Soy Agar medium enriched with sheep blood and incubated aerobicaly for 24-48 hours at 37 °C. By morphological, biochemical and cultural charcateristics 14 isolates out of 37 coliform were identified as Klebsiella ssp. The double disc synergy method and Congo Red Agar test were used to perform antibiotic susceptibility and in vitro slime forming properties, respectively. Resistances to the antibiotics Ampicillin, Carbenicillin, Cephotaxime, Chloramphenicol, Erythromycin, Gentamicin, Neomycin, Oxytetracycline, Sulphamethoxazole/Trimpethoprim, Amoxicillin-Clavulanate and Imipenem were 78.5%, 78.5%, 35.7%, 42.8%, 100%, 7%, 7%, 50%, 14%, 21% and 7%, respectively. Three of the total isolets produced biofilm only. This appears to the first report on ESBL producing Klebsiella ssp from subclinical cases of bovine mastitis in Konya, Türkiye. Presently, two numbers of antimicrobial combinations to treat bovine cases are recommended by this work. In conclusion, because of costly challange nature of Klebsiella caused bovine mastitis implemantation of an effective mastitis control program should be used in local farms from Konya.
