Although the primary agent in CLA\u2019s etiology is Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, some other opportunistic microorganisms also play a role. Therefore, the control and treatment of CLA necessitates the identification of the relevant etiological agents. This study aimed to conduct an in vitro culture and molecular characterization (PCR analysis and 16S rRNA sequencing) of the bacteria involved in sheep CLA cases reported in the \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 province of T\u00fcrkiye and determine the antibiotic susceptibility of the case isolates. In total, 82 (16.4%) of 500 sheep in five farms were diagnosed with CLA. Following the culture of the superficial abscesses samples, C. pseudotuberculosis was identified in 30 (36.59%) as a result of PCR, Pseudomonas spp. in 8 (9.76%), and Enterobacter cancerogenus in 1 (1.22%), as a result of 16S rRNA sequencing. These data revealed extensive heterogeneity among the Pseudomonas isolates, with hints of derivation from a common ancestry for some and phylogenetic similarity to isolates from Germany, Malaysia, and India. In contrast to the high susceptibility to cefoperazone and lincomycin, the high resistances of C. pseudotuberculosis and Pseudomonas spp. isolates to cephalothin, ceftiofur, cloxacillin, amoxicillin, and bacitracin were remarkable. Based on these findings, it was concluded that for an effective treatment and control of ovine CLA cases, there is a need to consider the possible involvement of opportunistic bacteria other than the primary causative agent, C. pseudotuberculosis. It also contributed to increasing the country-specific sequence data and establishing new taxa from a universal perspective.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/life14091078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,28]],"date-time":"2024-08-28T11:54:10Z","timestamp":1724846050000},"page":"1078","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Etiological and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profiles of the Bacteria Obtained from Ovine Caseous Lymphadenitis Cases in the \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 Region, T\u00fcrkiye"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0806-7659","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Serdal","family":"Tarhane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Department, Eldivan Vocational School of Health Services, \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 Karatekin University, \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 18200, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3278-4834","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatih","family":"B\u00fcy\u00fck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microbiology Department, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kafkas University, Kars 36300, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"15","article-title":"Koyun yeti\u015ftiricili\u011finin ekonomi politi\u011fi","volume":"23","year":"2009","journal-title":"Uludag \u00dcniv.
