A Preliminary Microbiological Study for Entomology Museums: Isolation of Bacterial Microbiota from Dytiscus spp. (Coleoptera: Dydiscidae)

There are generally an opinion that our results will

be beneficial in terms of evaluating the current pathological risk

possibilities, especially in entomology museums, and also in terms of

determining the negative diseases that we will encounter and taking necessary

precautions. Since the study phase coincided with the winter

season, live insects could not be obtained. Therefore, a dead insect (Dytiscus spp) it belongs to Dydiscidae

family that gathered around Umudum village of Erzurum central Yakutiye district

and collected in 1998 was used. Gut structure of the species was opened and

samples were taken for microbiota study. In this study, taking samples from the

intestinal structure and reproduction in the swab samples are shown. As can be understood from these studies carried out

in the past years; our research from Erzurum province is more effective

scientific and technical approaches. It will emerge with the detection of

entomopathogenic organisms and the emergence of bacterial microbiota that will

directly or indirectly affect human health. We believe that we provide useful

information for the protection of technical-academic personnel working in

museums. Due to more important, studies of bacterial

microbiota on terrestrial insects is less importance than studies of aquatic insects,

so we gain as agricultural and drinking water where they are found. We think that the future biological control of these

hosts will take an active role with the awareness of researchers working in

entomology laboratories and museums. Detection of some vector aquatic

Coleoptera insects may pose a risk to human and environmental health. We expect

that the detection of these vectors will be possible with the presence of

bacteria, previously known to cause disease in humans, in the intestinal

microbiota of these organisms. Consequently, presence of reproduction in the

samples of intestinal contents is very important in terms of infection risk in

museums and laboratories. Molecular techniques could not be performed due to

limited laboratory facilities for proliferation bacteria, but bacteria at genus

level has been defined, such as; Enterobacter,

Klepsiella and Bacillus spp.
