A Retrospective Analysis of Anaerobic Bacteria Isolated in 236 Cases of Pleural Empyema and their Prevalance of Antimicrobial Resistance in Turkey.

Background: Parapneumonic effusions usually occur secondary to an infection and produce pus (empyema) that accumulates in the pleural space. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anerobes in patients with empyema and to assess their resistance patterns for seven antimicrobials.

Methods: Pleural fluid specimens from 236 patients were inoculated on Schaedler agar.

The resistance rates of urinary tract infections: Our data from year 2010.

Objective: More than 95% of all urinary tract infections are caused by a single bacterium. Although E. coli is the most common bacterium causing community-acquired infections, Klebsiella spp.
