The rise of antibiotic-resistant organisms necessitates the implementation rapid identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) methods for patient management. We aimed to analyze how ID AST reporting influenced clinicians' treatment decisions.
We investigated the change in epidemiology of nosocomial bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria during Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and antibiotic consumption rates at a pandemic hospital Oncology Hospital which operated as COVID-19-free on same university campus. Significant increases infection density rate (IDRs) BSIs carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) ampicillin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (ARE) were detected hospital, whereas Klebsiella...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most important problems threatening human health worldwide. The impact Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on AMR continues to be discussed. Some researchers argue that will increase rates, while others suggest opposite. aim this study was investigate change in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus strains three cross-sectional periods Türkiye, first before COVID-19 pandemic, second third during pandemic....
COVID-19 infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to affect people as a global threat, and the number of cases is increasing every day. Healthcare workers who face potential exposure are at high risk SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Estimating prevalence among healthcare professionals, determining related factors applying effective control measures essential for continuity health system. The aim this study was investigate seroprevalence in our...
Automated chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassays (CMIAs) are the most common first step at high-volume laboratories for syphilis screening. If initial screening test is reactive, 1 more treponemal required, resulting in increased cost. In this multicenter study, we aimed to determine correlation between CMIA signal-to-cutoff ratio (S/Co) and confirmatory tests reduce unnecessary testing.Eight hospitals from 5 provinces participated study. All used Architect Syphilis TP (Abbott...
This study aimed to assess the performance of MALDI-TOF MS short incubation method for bacterial identification at short-term times improve reporting blood cultures. analysis was conducted intervals 2, 4, and 6 hours during development microbial biomass on solid media until successful achieved, with a final assessment 24 conventional identification. Species-level rates 2nd, 4th, 6th, 24th were 57.5%, 83.6%, 93.1%, 93.1% Gram-negative bacilli; 12.5%, 42.7%, 76.1%, 97.8% Gram-positive cocci...
ÖZNonfermentatif bakteriler altta yatan hastalığı olan ve hastanede hastalarda önemli üriner sistem enfeksiyonu etkenleridir.Bu çalışmada idrar kültürlerinden izole edilen nonfermentatif bakterilerin dağılımının
Amaç: Anaerop bakteriyemi insidansı bölgeler, sağlık kuruluşları ve hasta popülasyonuna göre değişkenlik gösterir.Kan kültürlerinden anaerop bakteriler %0.5-13 oranında izole edilmektedir.Bu çalışmanın amacı üç yıllık bir dönemde üniversite hastanesinde insidansının bakterile-
Amaç: Kolistin, karbapenem dirençli Gram-negatif bakteriler ile gelişen infeksiyonların tedavisinde kullanılan son seçenek antibiyotiktir. Kolistin duyarlılığının doğru olarak saptanması bu önem arz eder. duyarlılık testi için referans yöntem sıvı mikrodilüsyon olmakla birlikte uygulama zorluğu nedeniyle rutin laboratuvarlarda kullanımı sınırlıdır. Bu nedenle kolay ve doğruluk oranı yüksek bir teste ihtiyaç vardır. çalışmada, kolistin saptanmasında (SMD) yöntemini temel alan iki ticari test...
