Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease with various clinical presentations and early diagnosis crucial to avoid severe complications. Due limitations of conventional diagnostic methods, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based approaches have gained importance in diagnosis.We aimed evaluate value multiplex real time-PCR (mRT-PCR) serum samples collected from brucellosis suspected patients by comparision sensitivity mRT-PCR those methods.A total 249 the admitted hospitals three different provinces...
There are only a few antifungal drugs used systemically in treatment, and invasive fungal infections that resistant to these an emerging problem health care. In this study, we performed high-copy-number genomic DNA (gDNA) library screening find characterize genes reduce susceptibility amphotericin B, caspofungin, voriconazole Saccharomyces cerevisiae We identified the PDR16 PMP3 for RMD9 SWH1 MRS3 TRI1 voriconazole. The deletion mutants were drug susceptible, but other had no apparent...
AIM: Acute gastroenteritis outbreaks are the common health problem throughout world especially in children.Every year, thousands of children die due to diarrhea caused by bacteria, parasites and viral agents.In this study, we aimed evaluate rates diarrheal agents 0-5 years-old children's stool samples terms seasons. METHODS:In 216 were taken from year-old children.These examined with some tests for Rotaviruses, Adenoviruses, Salmonella, Shigella, Entamoeba, Giardia, Clostridium difficile...
In this study, we determined the seroprevalence of Brucella in blood bovine and ovine animals people who raise these to produce cheese two rural counties that use different methods production Erzurum Province Turkey.Samples are taken from 100 animals, young between ages 10-20 years adults 20-60 years. The samples were tested with Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), Serum Agglutination (SAT), Coombs' a micro-ELISA.We found following rates province makes raw milk: (3.00%), (5.00%), age (2.00%)...
Abstract Arsenic is a toxic metalloid that affects human health by causing numerous diseases and being used in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast) has been extensively utilized to elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying arsenic toxicity resistance eukaryotes. In this study, we applied genomic DNA overexpression strategy identify yeast genes provide wild‐type arsenic‐sensitive S. cells. addition known arsenic‐related genes, our genetic...
AIM:The increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria has dramatically revived the interest plant products as alternative antimicrobial agents to prevent efficiency of pathogenic microorganisms.Our aim this study is show activities commercially obtained thyme, rose, centaury and ozone oils against clinically important yeasts. METHODS:The activity were tested Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, mirabilis, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Enterococcus spp., Acinetobacter baumannii, Streptococcus...
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the healing impact an ointment derived from Alkanna tinctoria plant upon Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced infections. 
 Material and Methods: In study, 18 male adolescent rats (mean age 6 weeks) weighed average 180 g were used. Animals divided into 3 groups. Group 1: Control group (consisting burns, no treatment was done), 2 (P. aeruginosa): Burn created infected with P. aeruginosa, (Cream): aeruginosa used infect burns area herbal...
Aim: Escherichia coli, a bacterium that forms biofilm, is mainly responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal infections, such as urinary tract peritonitis, meningitis, septicemia.Different antibiotics (Aminoglycoside, Fluoroquinolones, etc.) treatments are routinely used to overcome E.coli infections.The presence of biofilm increases resistance against antibiotics.The study aims evaluate the boron component's effect on formation in vitro via liver (HepG-2) infection model. Material...
