Özet

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli was isolated from the internal organs and intestinal contents of 3 land turtles submitted to the laboratory for diagnostic purposes from a turtle farm located in western Turkey. As a result of the antibiotic susceptibility testing, isolates showed intermediated susceptibility to ceftiofur and gentamycine. This is the first report of the disease in turtles in Turkey.
