Abstract :Sceliphron curvatum (Smith, 1870), a solitary, invasive wasp species, builds a mud nest. This species is a new record for Türkiye. This study was carried out to determine the bacterial flora in mud nests made by S. curvatum wasps. Bacterial isolations were made from mud nests made by adult bees collected from the town of Perşembe in Ordu province. As a result of the study, five isolates were obtained and three of these isolates were identified. Isolate 1 was identified as Staphylococcus vitulinus, isolate 3 Aeromonas sobria and isolate 4 Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Identification percentages of the isolates were determined as 84% for S. vitulinus, 84% for A. sobria and 94% for P. aeruginosa, respectively. It has been determined that these bacterial species are important bacterial species that cause effective infections on humans and other living things.Keywords : çamur yuva yapan yaban arısı, çamur yuva, yabancı istilacı
