Demodex, an ectoparasite, can threaten eye health by settling into different eyelash bases. It is particularly suggested to cause dysfunction in the Meibomian glands. This cross-sectional study aimed investigate relationships between ocular demodicosis, punctal stenosis, dry eye, and blepharitis. A total of 144 patients who presented Ophthalmology Clinic volunteered participate were included. The demographic characteristics patients, presence blepharitis, tear breakup time, eye-watering...

Infections caused by resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii are now a global problem that requires the immediate development new antimicrobial drugs. Combination therapy is one strategies used to solve this problem. Based on information, purpose study was determine whether quercetin (QUE), in combination with three antibiotics, effective against colistin-resistant A. (ColR-Ab). The effects QUE colistin (COL), amikacin (AMK), and meropenem (MEM) were evaluated according checkerboard...
Infections with multidrug resistant gram-negative bacteria is a growing problem especially in health care settings. Colistin one of the last resort antibiotics for such infections which treatment options are limited. Increasing resistance to colistin global problem. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) study groups have recommended ISO-standard broth microdilution method (20776-1) as reference determination...

Abstract This study aimed to examine the surface characteristics of low shrinkage composites and adhesion Streptococcus mutans mitis these materials. Control material (glass) three (Charisma Diamond, Kalore GC, Beatiful II LS) were used. After polishing procedure was applied composite specimens, roughness (SR), free energy (SFE), contact angle measurements performed. Surfaces analyzed using scanning electron microscope energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy. pellicle formation with artificial...
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are important as a public health problem all over the world. There some difficulties in prevention and control programs of STIs due to clinical laboratory diagnostic problems.The most common Chlamydia trachomatis infections, trichomoniasis gonorrhea. The study aimed investigate direct microscopic examination, culture polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests diagnosis Trichomonas vaginalis infection; determine other microbiological agents that may cause...
Clostridium difficile is an important cause of nosocomial diarrhea and the best standard laboratory method for diagnosis C. infection controversial. In this study, we aimed to investigate performance Toxin A + B (Clostridium difficile) DUO kit which detects toxin by immunochromatographic Diff Quik Chek Complete (QCC) rapid membrane immunoassay determines presence glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) in stool samples, compared with toxigenic culture infection.One hundred ninety-three samples from...
Abstract Background We present a case of fungal keratitis caused by Scedosporium apiospermum , which is rare agent. Case description A 34-year-old Caucasian male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints pain and blurred vision in the left eye. The had history wearing contact lenses for 3 years. According Snellen chart, patient’s visual acuity 20/20 counting fingers at 30 cm, right eyes, respectively. × mm corneal abscess center cornea hypopyon eye observed. After hospitalized,...
Abstract Background Acute diarrhea is the second most common cause of child deaths worldwide. We investigated Salmonella species (spp.), Campylobacter spp., Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Shigella spp./enteroinvasive E. (EIEC) in stool samples 741 pediatric patients with acute diarrheal illness. Methods Between January 2017 October 2017, specimens were tested by BD Max Enteric Bacterial Panel (EBP) assay conventional culture. Results spp. O157:H7 detected 10 (1.3%), 20...

In solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.Thus, the diagnosis, treatment, management these great importance.Eleven different IFIs (five candidemia, three aspergillosis, one cryptococcosis, intra-abdominal mucormycosis, Magnusiomyces infection) were followed up in nine SOT recipients (four kidney, four liver, heart transplant), aged 35-66 years.The diagnosis mucormycosis was based on pathology test results;...
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence Group B Streptococcus (GBS) colonization in pregnancies between 35 and 37 weeks gestation compare effectiveness polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method with gold standard technique culture antenatal GBS screening.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of BD Phoenix CPO Detect Test (BD Diagnostic Systems) for detection and classification carbapenemase-mediated carbapenem resistance. Methods: A total 447 Enterobacterales strains were included in study. All tested with modified inactivation method. Results: Carbapenemase production was detected 157 159 carbapenemase producers, including 95.7% class B 99.2% D isolates using Test. has a sensitivity 98.7% specificity 95.5% detecting production....
Abstract Objective To evaluate the performance of nitrate reductase assay (NRA), a rapid, colorimetric method for determination methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from culture collection Akdeniz University Hospital Central Laboratory, Antalya, Türkiye. Materials and Methods Identification all 290 S at species level was performed via matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time flight. Isolates were tested with NRA resistance. The cefoxitin broth...
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) viral load quantitation is important in diagnosis, follow-up, and monitoring of antiviral therapy transplanted patients. In this study, it was aimed to compare the results two commercial World Health Organization (WHO) International CMV standard calibrated polymerase chain reaction tests, Cobas Ampliprep/Cobas Taqman (CMV-CAP/CTM) (Roche, Germany) Artus QIASymphony-Rotorgene (CMV-QS-RGQ) (Qiagen, Germany). Both tests were performed simultaneously on 244 plasma samples....
Background: Candida species are one of the most common causes blood-stream infections. Although albicans is clinical isolate, several studies have detected a global shift in epidemiology toward non-albicans species. Methods & Materials: In this study emergence infections caused by spp. was explored retropectively over year period Akdeniz University Hospital Clinical Microbiology Laboratory. A total 164 blood cultures from 97 patients were investigated. The culture isolates identified usind...
