ÖZ
Amaç
Tıbbi sülükler (Hirudo spp.) eski çağlardan beri insanlarda tedavi amaçlı kullanılmaktadır. Sülükler, büyüme koşulları nedeniyle bazı bakterileri ve endosimbiontları (örneğin; Aeromonas spp.) taşırlar. Hem sülük çiftliklerinde hem de hirudoterapi kliniklerinde sülüklerle birlikte kullanılabilecek güvenilir antiseptikler bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, metilen mavisinin (MB) tıbbi sülükler için güvenli bir antiseptik olup olmadığını belirlemek ve güvenli kullanımını değerlendirmektir.
Yöntemler
Bu çalışmada, tıbbi sülük Hirudo verbana Carena, 1820 için ölümcül konsantrasyonlar (LC), etkili konsantrasyonlar (EC) ve ölümcül süreler (LT) belirlenerek MB’nin etkinliği değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada yerel bir çiftlikten elde edilen toplam 570 H. verbana örneği kullanılmıştır. On sekiz farklı MB konsantrasyonu (1 ppm ile 512 ppm arasında) test edilmiştir.
Bulgular
H. verbana için LC50 ve EC50 değerleri sırasıyla 60.381 (53.674-66.636) ppm ve 2.013 (1.789-2.221) ppm olarak belirlenmiştir. 32 ve 512 ppm MB konsantrasyonları için LT50 süreleri sırasıyla 212.92 saat (138.43 saat-1485.78 saat) ve 17.82 saat (8.08 saat-23.90 saat) olarak hesaplanmıştır.
Sonuç
Sonuçlar, 2 ila 19 ppm arasındaki MB konsantrasyonlarının, tıbbi sülüklerin neden olduğu bakteriyel endişeleri gidermek için hirudoterapi kliniklerinde ve sülük çiftliklerinde antiseptik olarak güvenle kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.
