Özet:

 


Objective: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the presence and the prevalence of Enterococcus
faecalis and Enterococcus faecium strains isolated from the urine and stool samples.

Materials and Methods: A total of 500 routine urine and feces samples were used for testing as the
study materials, and a total of 349 Enterococcus spp. were collected for investigation. For the isolation,
blood agar and bile esculin agar were used. DNA isolations of the 24-hour growth cultures of possible
enterococci were carried out using a DNA isolation kit.

Results: Out of 350 routine urine and 150 stool samples taken with the approval of the patients, 235
(67.1%) and 114 (76%) Enterococcus spp. were isolated respectively. Using the multiplex PCR method
with species specific primers, 136 (57.8%) of urine and 22 (19.2%) of stool originated enterococcal
strains were identified as Enterococcus faecalis; on the other hand, 17 (7.2%) of urine and 61 (53.5%)
of stool originated enterococci were identified as Enterococcus faecium.


Conclusion: As a result of the study in Van, Turkey, the isolation rate of Enterococcus faecalis and
Enterococcus faecium strains were found to be lower than other regions.
