Abstract

Sceliphron curvatum (Smith, 1870), a solitary, invasive wasp species, builds a mud nest. This species is a new record for Türkiye. This study was carried out to determine the bacterial flora in mud nests made by S. curvatum wasps. Bacterial isolations were made from mud nests made by adult bees collected from the town of Perşembe in Ordu province. As a result of the study, five isolates were obtained and three of these isolates were identified. Isolate 1 was identified as Staphylococcus vitulinus, isolate 3 Aeromonas sobria and isolate 4 Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Identification percentages of the isolates were determined as 84% for S. vitulinus, 84% for A. sobria and 94% for P. aeruginosa, respectively. It has been determined that these bacterial species are important bacterial species that cause effective infections on humans and other living things.

Yabancı İstilacı Yaban Arılarının (Sceliphron curvatum Smith, 1870) Çamur Yuvalarında Bakteriyel Flora Analizi

Abstract

Yalnız, istilacı bir yaban arısı türü olan Sceliphron curvatum (Smith, 1870) çamurdan yuva yapar. Bu tür Türkiye için yeni bir kayıttır. Bu çalışma, S. curvatum yaban arılarının yaptıkları çamur yuvalarında bakteri florasının belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Ordu ili Perşembe ilçesinden toplanan ergin arıların yaptığı çamur yuvalarından bakteri izolasyonları yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda beş izolat elde edilmiş ve bu izolatlardan üç tanesi tanımlanmıştır. İzolat 1 Staphylococcus vitulinus, izolat 3 Aeromonas sobria ve izolat 4 Pseudomonas aeruginosa olarak belirlenmiştir. İzolatların tanımlama yüzdeleri sırasıyla S. vitulinus için %84, A. sobria için %84 ve P. aeruginosa için %94 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu bakteri türlerinin insanlar ve diğer canlılar üzerinde etkili enfeksiyonlara neden olan önemli bakteri türleri olduğu belirlenmiştir.
