Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are recognized as causing nosocomial community-acquired infections in every region of the world. The resistance to antimicrobial agents among is an increasing problem. Clindamycin (CL) considered be one alternative these infections. This study demonstrates a simple, reliable method (double-disc diffusion test) for detecting inducible CL erythromycin-resistance (ER-R) isolates S. CNS. A total 883 (52.3%) 804 (47.7%) CNS were...
Background: Intravascular catheters are integral to the practice of modern medicine. Potential risk factors for catheter‐related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) include underlying disease, method catheter insertion, and duration purpose catheterization. The administration parenteral nutrition (PN) through intravascular increases CRBSI risks. this study was evaluate in patients with PN administration. Methods: This conducted at Karadeniz Technical University Hospital between October 2003...
Healthcare-related transmission of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a well-recognized hazard. We report multicentre retrospective cross-sectional study undertaken in Turkey 2014 nine hospitals, regional reference centres for CCHF, covering the years 2002 to inclusive. Data were systematically extracted from charts all personnel with reported health care injury/accident related CCHF. Blood samples tested CCHF IgM/IgG by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and/or viral nucleic acid...
Abstract Background The core components (CCs) of infection prevention and control (IPC) from World Health Organization (WHO) are crucial for the safety quality health care. Our objective was to examine level implementation WHO (IPC CC) in a developing country. We also aimed evaluate care-associated infections (HAIs) antimicrobial resistance (AMR) intensive care units (ICUs) association with implemented IPC CCs. Methods Members Turkish Infectious Diseases Clinical Microbiology Specialization...
Umbilical venous catheter (UVC) insertion is frequently performed in critically ill neonates. Various mild or serious complications of umbilical catheterization can be observed associated with this procedure. In study, newborns that have undergone UVC and developed were evaluated.This retrospective observational study was carried out evaluated between June 2008 November 2014.Umbilical inserted to 974 (22.4%) newborn followed for 7402/catheter days. UVC-related at 198 patients (20.3%). The...
Intravascular catheters are indispensable tools in modern medical therapy. In spite of their great benefits, however, the widespread use leads to several complications, including infections that cause significant morbidity, mortality, and economic losses for hospitalized patients.This study was conducted at Farabi Hospital, a 495-bed facility Karadeniz Technical University Medical School Trabzon, Turkey, involved 3 separate periods: preeducation, education, posteducation. Patients with...
Abstract Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) causes a life-threatening disease with up to 40% mortality rate. With no approved medical countermeasures, CCHFV is considered public health priority agent. The non-neutralizing mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) 13G8 targets glycoprotein GP38 and protects mice from lethal challenge when administered prophylactically or therapeutically. Here, we reveal the structures of bound human chimeric mAb newly isolated CC5-17 survivor. These mAbs...
To describe the epidemiology and susceptibility of pathogens (including ESBL producers) from hospital-acquired (HA) versus community-acquired (CA) urinary tract infections (UTIs) ICU- non-ICU-associated intra-abdominal (IAIs) in Turkey as a part SMART study.: For this report, Gram-negative (363 UTIs 458 IAIs) were collected 2011 2012 at six hospitals Turkey. HA CA IAIs compared for species isolated, percentage ESBL-positive isolates by overall individual species.: Escherichia coli was most...
This phase III study assessed the efficacy/safety/antiviral activity/pharmacokinetics of bemnifosbuvir, a novel, oral nucleotide analog to treat COVID-19.
Objective: We are still in search of new therapeutic options for COVID-19 to prevent infections, enable fast recovery and reduce the long-lasting symptoms or sequelae. This study aimed investigate short- long-term effects inhaled aviptadil on hospitalized, adult patients. Methods: A multicenter, prospective, placebo-controlled, comparative, randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted. Patients were randomized 1:1 either placebo, addition standard care. The primary endpoint is time...
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the use and efficacy of antibiotic-lock therapy (ALT) in management catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs), focusing on its impact infection resolution, catheter retention, clinical outcomes. Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years diagnosed with CRBSIs who had long-term indwelling catheters for whom replacement posed challenges were enrolled retrospective from January 2019 December 2024. Participants divided into two groups based treatment: Group 1...
Serratia marcescens is a well-known but relatively uncommon cause of nosocomial infections, particularly in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients. We investigated an outbreak S the NICU at Farabi Hospital Karadeniz Technical University Trabzon, Turkey.Between March 21 and May 27, 2006, nine neonates were identified with cultures marcescens, there three deaths because septicemia. For purpose identifying source infection, 85 environmental samples, two breast milk samples from babies'...
SUMMARY Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is endemic in Turkey, and since 2004 many cases have been reported from different regions of Turkey. There are limited data about the seroprevalence disease household members patients or persons sharing same environment. We evaluated CCHF immediate neighbourhood living environment as confirmed an area A total 625 healthy subjects [mean ( s.d. ) age: 42·3 (18·4) years, 58·7% females] without a past history infection included this case-control,...
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a disease that known since 1944 affecting many people across the world and causing high mortality rate. The aim of this study was to determine epidemiological clinical characteristics CCHF cases in our region. Materials methods: present conducted patients with who were hospitalized between 2004 2006 at Karadeniz Technical University. Demographic, geographic, climatic, all investigated. Results: A total 102 confirmed investigated study. All from rural...
We investigated the incidence of and risk factors for nephrotoxicity in patients using intravenous colistin.This retrospective, observational study was conducted at Karadeniz Technical University, Faculty Medicine, clinics intensive care unit between 1 January 2009 2013. Intravenous colistin administered to 133 a dose 2.5-5.0 mg/kg/day.The mean age 54.3±19.1 years duration treatment 13.5±3.6 days. Nephrotoxicity developed 5.0±2.8 days 38 (28.6%) patients.
