In contrast to many other studies of probiotic species, the number publications evaluating Bifidobacterium lactis and its combinations with prebiotics as treatments for acute infectious diarrhea is limited. We investigated synbiotic effects B. B94 plus inulin on diarrhea.The study was conducted children between ages 2 60 months. The patients were administered 5×1010 colony-forming units (CFU) 900 mg or placebo, once a day five days. Stools examined Rotavirus, Adenovirus, Entamoeba...
Carbapenems are the choice of treatment in infections caused by multidrug resistant Enterobacteriaceae. In recent years carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates due to carbapenemases have been increasingly reported worldwide. Multicenter studies on scarce Turkey. The aim this study was determine distribution from different parts Turkey as a part European Survey Carbapenemase Producing (EuSCAPE) project. Beginning November 2013, at least one agents, namely imipenem, meropenem, and...
Abstract Fungal flora in coastal/inland beach sand and recreational water is a neglected field of study, despite its potential impact on human health. A joint ISHAM/ECMM working group was formed 2019 with the task to set up vast international initiative aimed at studying fungal contamination beaches bathing waters. Here we review importance topic, list main results achievements from 12 scientific publications. exists different levels genera most frequently found were Aspergillus spp.,...
The aim of the study was to investigate distribution Candida species isolated from urine specimens hospitalized patients in Akdeniz University Hospital, Antalya, Turkey, as well their susceptibilities antifungal agents. A total 100 who had nosocomial candiduria between March 2003 and May 2004 at facility were included study. Organisms identified by conventional methods use API ID 32C strips. Susceptibilities isolates amphotericin B determined Etest, whereas minimum inhibitory concentration...
Aspergillus fumigatus causes several diseases in humans and azole resistance A. strains is an important issue. The aim of this multicentre epidemiological study was to investigate the prevalence clinical environmental isolates Turkey.Twenty-one centres participated from 1 May 2018 October 2019. One participant each centre asked collect isolates. Azole screened for using EUCAST agar screening methodology (EUCAST E.DEF 10.1) confirmed by 9.3 reference microdilution method. Isolates with a...
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...

This study aimed to determine whether Mycoplasma (M) genitalium, M. hominis, Ureaplasma (U) urealyticum, and U. parvum were present in male patients with symptoms of urethritis. First-void urine genital discharge samples collected from 94 men. The examined for the presence using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method (BioGX Mycoplasma-Ureaplasma-OSR commercial PCR kit, BioGX, Netherlands). Trichomonas vaginalis Neisseria (N) gonorrhoeae was investigated microscopy culture...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the major causes chronic hepatitis. It important to know genotypes HCV in decision related hepatitis therapy. The aim this study was evaluate determined at Microbiology Laboratory Akdeniz University Hospital, and changes distribution within last five years. A total 422 blood samples from HCV-RNA positive patients (219 male, 203 female; age range: 8-79 yrs, mean 46.3 ± 15.5 yrs) which were sent our laboratory for genotyping between 2009-2013 period, analyzed...
In this study, we investigated the applicability of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for identification Exophiala species. The analysis included a total 110 isolates, including 15 CBS strains representing 4 species, dermatitidis (61), E. phaeomuriformis (36), crusticola (9), and heteromorpha (4), that had been previously identified based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. We also compared relative efficacies Sabouraud...
Objective To evaluate the serotype distribution and antibiotic resistance in pneumococcal infections adults to provide a perspective regarding coverage of both current future vaccines.Patients methods This passive surveillance study was conducted with Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated from specimens patients pneumonia (materials bronchoalveolar lavage), bacteraemia, meningitis, pleuritis peritonitis between 2015 2018. Serogrouping serotyping were performed by latex particle...
We report a case of pulmonary infection caused by Aspergillus flavus and alliaceus in an acute myeloid leukemia patient. These isolates were identified using traditional sequencing-based molecular methods.
Summary Background Aspergillus flavus is a major cause of severe non‐invasive fungal infections in the Middle Eastern countries. However, it difficult to distinguish A from oryzae . Objectives To assess potential matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionisation time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) discriminating between and compare with β‐tubulin gene sequencing. Methods We used Bruker Daltonik MALDI‐TOF MS system analyse 200 clinical environmental isolates one pseudonomius alliaceus (...
Fusarium species are saprophytic molds which cause disseminated or localized infections in humans. Disseminated infection can significant morbidity and mortality immunocompromised patients. We present a case of fusariosis caused by verticillioides patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia successfully treated using both liposomal amphotericin B voriconazole.
ÖZETHemodiyaliz hastalarında hepatit B virus (HBV) ve C (HCV) enfeksiyonları önemli morbidite mortalite nedenidir; zira bu hastalar immün süpresif oldukları için enfeksiyonlara karşı duyarlılıkları artmıştır.Bu çalışmada, kronik hemodiyaliz HBV HCV enfeksiyonlarının serolojik moleküler yöntemlerle araştırılması ayrıca okült enfeksiyonu oranının viral genotiplerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Active screening for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) using rectal specimens is recommended to limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance within certain high-risk populations. We evaluated diagnostic performance Vancomycin Resistance 3 Multiplexed Tandem PCR assay (AusDiagnostics, Australia), a rapid multiplex real-time that detects vanA and/or vanB.Two-hundred-and-eleven swabs from Hematology and Oncology unit were submitted VRE surveillance via direct detection vanB by culture...
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...

Symptom combinations significantly high both with indeterminate results...
Because of the emergence and spread extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains which are resistant to many antibiotics, reliable detection ESBL is very important for infection control. Several chromogenic media have been proposed producers in addition conventional phenotypic genotyping methods. The aim present study was evaluate performance Brilliance agar (Oxoid; Thermo Fisher Scientific, UK), a selective ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) Klebsiella pneumoniae (K....
