The risk of infection in burns is well-known. In recent decades, the antimicrobial resistance bacteria isolated from burn patients has increased. For this reason, a retrospective study was conducted at Van Training and Research Hospital to analyze bacterial isolates wounds admitted Burn Unit determine susceptibility patterns commonly cultured organisms over 3-year period, January 2009 December 2011.A total 250 microorganisms were 179 patients. Our results revealed that most frequent isolate...
Colistin resistance causes substantial problems in the treatment of serious infections with carbapenem-resistant (CR) gram-negative bacteria. In this study, we report a fatal hospital outbreak from spread pandrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clone. An investigation was conducted after consecutive isolation nine CR-K. (CR-Kp) strains eight patients two intensive care units university within 2 weeks. Carbapenem and colistin genes were investigated PCR, clonal relationships isolates studied...
A limited number of antibiotics are recommended for the therapy Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections due to difficulties caused by its numerous mechanisms resistance.In this study conducted over a period approximately 5 years we aimed determine resistance rates S. based on drug classification Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.A total 118 strains isolated from various clinical specimens between January 2006 June 2012 were included in study. BD Phoenixautomated microbiology system...
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...
mecA is a predefined gene causing methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolates; however, it has been shown that some methicillin-resistant S. (MRSA) strains do not carry this gene. Recently, isolates found to be MRSA-positive but mecA-negative, new called mecC, which homolog of mecA, reported. This study aimed investigate the mecC and genes MRSA isolated from different geographic regions Turkey. The sample consisted 494 seven geographical Turkey between 2013 2016....
To determine the seroprevalence of anti-Toxoplasma, anti-Rubella, and anti-Cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibodies among pregnant women receiving prenatal care at Van Training Research Hospital.In developing countries, various infectious agents encountered in gestational period are important because they influence both maternal fetal health. Among these, Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella CMV quite prevalent. In present study, anti-Rubella anti-CMV were analyzed serum samples obtained from Hospital between...
Purpose: Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease and still constitutes major public health problem.In the study we claimed to identify Brucella species from clinical samples of patients with active brucellosis Van region Eastern Anatolia determine in vitro antimicrobial susceptibilities these strains commonly used anti-Brucella agents possible new alternative tigecycline.Materials Methods: A total 56 isolates were enrolled identification based on conventional methods.In activities...
Objective . Recently, community and hospital-acquired infections with Staphylococcus aureus have increased raised antibiotic resistant isolates. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the resistance profile of S. isolates over several years in various clinical specimens from our hospital. Materials Methods strains 2009 2014 were isolated samples at Yuzuncu Yil University, Dursun Odabas Medical Center, Microbiology Laboratory, their susceptibility test results retrospectively investigated. The...
Brucellosis produces a variety of nonspecific hematologic abnormalities. Hematologic complications mild anemia and leukopenia have been frequently associated with acute brucellosis, but pancytopenia is less seen. In this study, records children brucellosis aged under or equal to 16 years, admitted Yuzuncu Yil University Hospital between 2004 2010, were analyzed retrospectively. Over time period, 187 patients diagnosed. Twenty-five (13.3%) had during admission hospital. The diagnosis was...
Abstract Background Brucellosis is the most common zoonotic disease worldwide and remains an important human especially in developing countries. The aim of present study was to evaluate clinical manifestations laboratory findings childhood brucellosis V province E astern T urkey. To our knowledge, this largest series reported literature. Methods In retrospective study, 496 children with were assessed for from J uly 2009 through D ecember 2013. diagnosis based on a standard tube agglutination...
Purpose: Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease and still constitutes major public health problem.In this study, we aimed to identify biovars of Brucella strains isolated from clinical specimens taken brucellosis patients the Eastern Anatolia region as well determine susceptibility these isolates tigecycline azithromycin, drugs that may serve alternatives conventional used in therapy.Materials methods: Seventy-five spp.isolates were included study.All identified by both molecular...
The aim of the present study was to hematologic findings 622 cases diagnosed with acute brucellosis. Medical records children brucellosis, admitted Yuzuncu Yil University Hospital over a 6-year period, were analyzed retrospectively.
