چکیده

به منظور شناسایی ژن های حدت و مقاومت آنتی بیوتیکی در سویه های اشریشیاکلی جدا شده از عفونت کیسه زرده در جوجه های گوشتی اصفهان، 100 سویه اشریشیاکلی از 20 فارم مشکوک به عفونت کیسه زرده در سال 1402 تهیه شد. سویه ها با کشت بر روی محیط مک کانکی آگار و ائوزین متیلن بلو و نیز انجام تست های بیوشیمیایی تایید شدند. در نهایت، بر روی محیط مولر هینتون آگار کشت داده شد و در نهایت با روش دیسک دیفیوژن (کربی بائر) میزان حساسیت آنتی بیوتیکی بررسی شد. سپس با پرایمر های اختصاصی به شناسایی ژن های حدت  fimC، hlyF، iss و iutA پرداخته شد. مطابق با نتایج از 100 نمونه کشت تهیه شده 60 سویه اشریشیاکلی در کشت و تست های بیوشیمیایی تایید شد. بیشترین درصد مقاومت آنتی بیوتیکی در سویه های جدا شده علیه تتراسایکلین دیده شد. بیشترین فراوانی ژن حدت شناسایی شده در سویه های اشریشیاکلی جدا شده از عفونت کیسه زرده مربوط به fimC  بود (70 درصد) در حالیکه iss واجد کمترین درصد فراوانی بود (35 درصد). بیشترین ژنوتیپ مشاهده شده fimC-hlyF-iutA-iss  بود؛ (71/35 درصد) که بالاترین درصد مقاومت آنتی بیوتیکی نسبت به 13 آنتی بیوتیک تجاری مورد مطالعه را نشان داد (92 درصد). لذا به نظر می رسد ژنوتیپ های دخیل در عفونت کیسه زرده واجد تنوع بالایی هستند و سویه های واجد ژن های حدت بیشتر می توانند از مقاومت آنتی بیوتیکی بالاتری برخوردار باشند.

چکیده [English]

To identify virulence and antibiotic resistance genes in Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains responsible for yolk sac infection in broiler chickens in Isfahan (Center of Iran), 100 culture samples were collected from the of yolk sacs from 20 farms suspected of yolk sac infection. The samples were cultured on MacConkey and EMB agar, and confirmed with biochemical tests. The isolates were then cultured on Mueller Hinton agar and subjected to antibiogram testing using commercial antibiotic discs. Specific primers were used to detect the virulence genes fimC, hlyF, iss, and iutA. The results revealed that out of the 100 cultured samples, 60 E. coli strains were confirmed through culture and biochemical tests. The highest percentage of antibiotic resistance among the isolated strains was observed against tetracycline. The most frequently identified virulence gene in E. coli strains isolated from yolk sac infections was fimC (70%), while iss had the lowest frequency (35%). The most common genotype observed was fimC-hlyF-iutA-iss (71.35%), which exhibited the highest percentage of antibiotic resistance against 13 commercial antibiotics studied (92%). These findings suggest that genotypes involved in yolk sac infection exhibit significant diversity, and strains carrying virulence genes are more likely to possess higher levels of antibiotic resistance.
