Abstract (EN)

In this study, water samples were collected from Ağyatan Lagoon which is located in the (Adana-Karatas) Mediterranean region. Level of total aerobic bacteria, total coliforms, total yeast and mold and investigated fecal Streptococcus and Vibrio sp,. were determined. Isolated bacteria were investigated of resistance frequency to against 42 antibiotics which are frequently used currently. Plasmid profiles were determined from bacteria which have high multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR).Enterobacter cloacae, Staphylococcus intermedius, Staphylococcus vitilinus, Achromobacter xylosoxisans, Oligella ureolytica, Pasteurella canis, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Bordetella trematum, Moraxella group, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio alginolyticus, Pseudomonas stutzeri, and Aeromonas salmonicida isolated from water samples.Isolates were resistant to Penicillin (98%) whereas sensitive against to Imipenem, Ertapenem, Levofloxacin and Gentamycin (0%). The MAR index of isolates ranged between 0.14 and 0.67.In conclusion, according to The Environment and Forest Ministry of Water Pollution Control Regulations Ağyatan Logoon?s Water quality was found to be first class.Keywords: Ağyatan Lagoon, Antibiotic resistance, MAR index
