There is an emerging fluconazole resistance in Candida parapsilosis recent years. The leading mechanism causing azole C. the Y132F codon alteration ERG11 gene which encodes target enzyme of drugs. In this study, we evaluated sensitivity, compatibility, and specificity a novel tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR) method for rapid detection nonsusceptible parapsilosis. Antifungal susceptibility tests were performed by broth microdilution...
are clinically relevant for severity prediction and treatment of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. We aimed to demonstrate the potential cytokines in five days after symptom onset describe importance serum cytokine levels patients with different disease severity.
Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and has been affecting world since end of 2019. Turkey severely affected with first case being reported on March 11 th 2020. Ambient particulate matter (PM) samples in various size ranges were collected from 13 sites including urban background locations hospital gardens 10 cities across between May 14 June, 2020 to investigate a possible presence RNA ambient PM. A total 155 daily (TSP, n=80 ; PM 2.5 , n=33 2.5-10...
Objective: Biofilm formation is one of the most important virulence factors Candida species which leads to permanent infection foci by adhering foreign materials and are difficult treat.Candida parapsilosis, common causes candidemia in our country, frequently isolated as a causative agent catheterrelated infections.The commonly used methods for evaluating biofilm measuring cell viability with XTT (2,3-bis (2-methoxy-4-nitro-5sulfophenyl)-5-[(phenylamino) carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide)...
RATIONALE: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2, has been affecting world since end of 2019. Turkey severely affected with first case being reported on March 11th 2020. Several studies suggest an association between air pollution and spread infection, that ambient particulate matters (PM) can present a potential, as virus carriers. The aim study was to investigate presence SARS-CoV-2 RNA PM. METHODS: Ambient PM samples in various size ranges were collected...
