Özet
The aim of this study was to evaluate the species and biovar distribution of Brucella spp. isolated from blood cultures in Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of Trakya University Hospital, between 1997-2002. A total of 48 Brucella spp. have been isolated from 14.815 patients (0.31%), and the strains were identified according to CO2 requirement, H2S production, basic fuchsin and thionin sensitivity, lysis by Tbilisi phages, and presence of agglutination with monospecific A and M antisera. As a result, 47 (97.9%) isolates were identified as B.melitensis, and one as B.abortus (2.1%). Forty two (89.4%) of B.melitensis isolates were biovar 3, and five (10.6%) were biovar 1, while the single isolate of B.abortus was identified as an atypical strain.
