Özet

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.
