Özet
The genus Enterococcus consists of Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, catalase-negative, facultative anaerobic bacteria that can occur both as single or diplococci and in chains. Commensal microorganisms of the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals, including this genus, acquire high antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes and can turn into opportunistic pathogens. In this study, 42 Enterococcus spp. were isolated and identified by conventional and molecular (ddl gene sequence) methods from honey bee specimens in Türkiye. Of the isolates, 37 (88%) were identified as E. faecalis and five (12%) as E. faecium. Antimicrobial resistance profiles against nine antibiotics were determined by the disk diffusion method. Antibiotic resistance genes and eight different virulence genes were characterized by molecular methods. Of the 42 isolates, 24 (57%) were resistant to erythromycin, six (14%) were resistant …
