Molecular epidemiological analysis of integron gene cassettes and tetA/tetB/tetD gene associations in Escherichia coli strains producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) in urine cultures
(Wroclaw Medical University, 2021)
Background. Epidemiological studies of tetracycline (TE) resistance genes and integron gene cassettes, particularly in urine samples, are limited in Turkey. Objectives. To investigate antibiotic susceptibility profiles, ...
Investigation of class 1 integrons with antibiotic resistance genes in multidrug-resistant acinetobacter baumannii strains and determination of plant extract effects on multidrug-resistant isolates
(Soc Stiinte Farmaceutice Romania, 2021)
This study aimed to investigate the presence of resistance genes in multidrug-resistant A. baumannii isolates as well as to determine the antibacterial activity of selected plant extracts against isolates. 41 strains were ...
Comparison of a novel antigen detection test with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay for laboratory diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection
(Springer, 2022)
Molecular diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in respiratory specimens is considered the gold standard method. ...
Screening of antimicrobial resistance genes and epidemiological features in hospital and community-associated Carbapenem-Desistant Pseudomonas Aeruginosa infections
(Dove Medical Press Ltd., 2021)
Introduction: Researching carbapenem-resistant isolates enables the identification of carbapenemase-producing bacteria and prevents their spread.
Methods: P. aeruginosa isolates were recovered from Medicine Faculty of ...
High prevalence of NDM metallo-β-lactamase among ESBL-producing Escherichia coli İsolates
(Akademiai Kiado Zrt, 2017)
Resistance to beta-lactams in Enterobacteriaceae has been increasing worldwide. This study aimed to determine the frequency of beta-lactamase genes and antibiotic resistance rates of 140 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase ...
Evaluation of the carbapenem inactivation method for detection of carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacteria in comparison with the RAPIDEC CARBA NP
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2017)
Timely detection of carbapenemases by both phenotypic and genotypic methods is essential for developing strategies to control the spread of infections by carbapenem-resistant isolates and related morbidity and mortality. ...
Co-existance of ISABA1/BLA(OXA-51/23) is increasing in carbapenem rersistant acinetobacter baumannii isolates in Turkey
(Carbone Editore, 2017)
Introduction: Carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) strains are challenging topics for hospitals. We determined the antibiotic susceptibilities and genetic resistance mechanisms of 135 A. baumannii ...
Effect of mazEF, higBA and relBE toxin-antitoxin systems on antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus isolates
(Med Coll Malawi, 2018)
Background A toxin-antitoxin (TA) system is a set of two or more closely linked genes that are encoded as a poison and a corresponding antidote on a protein. in typical bacterial physiology, an antitoxin binds to a toxin ...
Correction of patient medical record errors through a file control method
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2019)
Aim: the purpose of this study was to reduce the errors that might occur in the medical practice records to the lowest possible level, thereby contributing to a better quality of health care services. the aim of this study ...
Antibiotic sensitivity of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in a 5-year period and investigation of clonal outbreak with PFGE
(J Infection Developing Countries, 2019)
Introduction: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, which is able to form a biofilm, has mostly been related to catheters when it is the agent in hospital infections; these infections generally present as bacteremia and pneumonia, ...
