SUMMARY The aim of this study was to compare the responses colistin treatment alone vs . a combination and rifampicin in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strain. Forty-three patients were randomly assigned one two groups. Although clinical ( P = 0·654), laboratory 0·645), radiological 0·290) microbiological 0·597) response rates better group, these differences not significant. However, time clearance (3·1 ± 0·5 days, 0·029) significantly...
Initial antimicrobial therapy (AB) is an important determinant of clinical outcome in patients with severe infections as pneumonia, however well-conducted studies regarding prognostic impact inadequate initial AB who are not undergoing mechanical ventilation (MV) lacking. In this study we aimed to identify the risk factors for and determine its subsequent on outcomes both ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) hospital acquired (HAP). We retrospectively studied accuracy a university Turkey. A...
Peroxidation, epoxidation, and/or perepoxidation reactions of soybean oil under air at room temperature resulted in cross-linked polymeric peroxides on the surface along with waxy soluble part, sPSB, a molecular weight 4690, containing up to 2.3 wt % peroxide. This peroxide, initiated free radical polymerization either methyl methacrylate (MMA) or n-butyl (nBMA) give PSB-g-PMMA and PSB-g-PnBMA graft copolymers. The polymers obtained were characterized by (1)H NMR, thermogravimetric analysis,...
Increasing reports of carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections are serious concern. Reliable susceptibility testing results remains a critical issue for the clinical outcome. Automated systems increasingly used species identification and testing. This study was organized to evaluate accuracies three widely automated methods imipenem susceptibilities A. isolates, by comparing validated test methods. Selected 112 isolates baumanii collected between January 2003 May 2006 were...
Timely detection of carbapenemases by both phenotypic and genotypic methods is essential for developing strategies to control the spread infections carbapenem-resistant isolates related morbidity mortality. The aim this study was compare performance a commercial kit, RAPIDEC® CARBA NP, an in-house technique, carbapenem inactivation method (CIM), against panel 136 carbapenemase- noncarbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. RAPIDEC NP...
The aim of this study was to compare the demineralizations enamel surfaces around different types orthodontic brackets in an artificial cariogenic environment. A total 90 extracted human maxillary first premolar teeth were used vitro study. divided into 6 groups, 5 and 1 control, each consisting 15 samples. Victory metal, Gemini Clarity self-ligating ceramic, APC Advanced ceramic (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif) groups bonded with direct technique. gingival, occlusal proximal adjacent measured a...
Abstract Background Due to the increasing prevalence of carbapenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA), effective agents are needed treat these serious infections. Although CRPA may test susceptible other β-lactams such as ceftazidime (CAZ), cefepime (FEP), and piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP), reduced potency has been observed amongst CRPA. In this study, we used PKPD analysis assess adequacy EUCAST Susceptible (S) or Increased Exposure (SIE)/(I) doses for CAZ, FEP, TZP against clinical...
Abstract Synthesis of Poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA‐multigraft copolymers derived from linseed oil, soybean and linoleic acid PMMA‐ g ‐polymeric oil/oily acid‐ ‐poly(3‐hydroxy alkanoate) (PHA), their protein adsorption bacterial adherence have been described. Polymeric peroxides [polymeric oil peroxide (PSB), polymeric (PLO), (PLina)] initiated the copolymerization MMA unsaturated PHA‐soya to yield PMMA–PLO–PHA, PMMA–PSB–PHA, PMMA–PLina–PHA multigraft copolymers. were completely soluble...
Summary Species level identification of Candida and antifungal susceptibility testing is not generally performed in routine laboratory practice. There limited information about the distribution species Turkey. In this study, we aimed at identifying isolates to from various samples obtained patients treated an intensive care unit between 2002 2005 evaluate fluconazole susceptibilities isolates. A total 320 270 were identified by conventional methods using API ( and/or 20C AUX) system....
A novel hydrazone ligand derived from condensation reaction of 3‐hydroxy‐2‐naphthoic hydrazide with dehydroacetic acid, and its Ni(II), Cu(II) Co(II) complexes were synthesized, characterized by spectroscopic, elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility conductivity methods, screened for antimicrobial, DNA binding cleavage properties. Spectroscopic analysis analyses indicated the formula, [MLCl 2 ], complexes; square planar geometry nickel, tetrahedral copper cobalt complexes. The...
(1) Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the demineralization around brackets bonded with different types adhesive agents in a cariogenic suspension environment. (2) Methods: In study, 60 extracted upper first premolar teeth were divided into three groups 20 each group. Group 1, Transbond XT Primer + Light Cure Adhesive (3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA), 2, GC Ortho Connect (GC Crop, Tokyo, Japan) and 3, Transbond™ Plus Self Etching USA) used. 1 buccal enamel surfaces etched for 30...
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence fecal carriage extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria, enzyme types, and risk factors affecting colonization.A total 576 stool samples from outpatients were examined between October 2012 May 2013. Screening done with selective EMB plates. ESBL detected by double-disk synergy confirmed agar strip gradient methods. Enzyme types determined PCR.The found as 30% (173 576). Recent use antibiotics, hospitalization surgical...
Abstract Background With the application of surface sealant agents, smooth surfaces can be achieved in a shorter time when compared with conventional polishing. However, studies on performance these agents against chewing forces are not many. The purpose this study was to evaluate roughness and Streptococcus mutans adhesion sealent coupled interim prosthetic materials after simulation. Methods One hundred twelve specimens were fabricated from two poly(methyl methacrylate) (Tab 2000, Dentalon...
