In this study, the prevalence and distribution of various Arcobacter spp. were investigated in samples taken from the cloacae of healthy domestic geese raised in Turkey. A membrane filtration technique with a non-selective blood agar was... more
Individual cloacal swabs of mallards ( Anas platyrhynchos ) and of herring gulls ( Larus argentatus ), as well as samples of waterbird feces obtained in 2008 and 2009, were cultivated for Escherichia coli . Isolates of E. coli were tested... more
