Abstract
OBJECTIVE: In this study, identification of G. vaginalis that is reproduced in vaginal samples obtained from KETEM/Aydin and evaluation of their resistance to commonly used antibiotics were aimed.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the experiment, 220 vaginal swab samples were used. Antibiotic suspectibility tests were performed by antibiotic discs that contain either of Metronidazole, Tetracycline, Erythromycin, Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid, Doxycycline, Colistin, Clindamycine, and Penicillin.RESULTS: In this study, 26 (12%) G. vaginalis strains were isolated and identified from 220 vaginal swab samples. Results showed that all the strains are resistant to Metronidazole, Colistin and Penicillin; while 20 of them (77%) susceptible, 2 of them (8 %) moderately susceptible, 4 of them (15%) resistant to Tetracycline. 8 strains (31%) were found susceptible to Erythromycin, as 18 of them (69%) were moderately susceptible. Resistance to Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid, Doxycycline and Clindamycine were seen 4 (15%), 2 (8%) and 2 (8%) strains, respectively. Susceptibility to same antibiotics occurred in 16 (62%), 24 (92%) and 14 (54%) strains, respectively. Moderately susceptible strains to Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid and Clindamycine were 6 and 10 respectively.CONCLUSION: In this study, necessity for determination of G. vaginalis strain with culture method by taking vaginal swab and administering treatment after antibiotic susceptibility tests of identified bacteria is propounded.
