The genus is composed of Gram-negative, fastidious, facultative intracellular bacteria that can cause bacteremia in mammals and various disorders in humans. Rodents have been reported as reservoirs of more than 30 species, seven of which cause zoonotic infections. In the present study, the isolation of sp.

Methodology: Between June 1 and September 30, 2021, demographic and microbiological data of the patients were recorded. In the obtained samples, meropenem and colistin minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) levels, carbapenem resistance genes, and the clonal relationship were studied by molecular methods.
Article Synopsis
- Orthohantaviruses are significant public health threats, causing various diseases like hemorrhagic fever and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, so monitoring wild rodents for these viruses is crucial for outbreak preparedness.
- Researchers conducted a study from 2015 to 2017 in Southern Anatolia but found no evidence of orthohantavirus infections among the trapped rodents.
- The study suggests that orthohantavirus presence may be influenced by climatic conditions, particularly precipitation and temperature, and emphasizes the need for further research on rodent surveillance in different regions.
We report complete coding sequences of Orthohantavirus dobravaense (Dobrava virus) Igneada strains and phylogenetic characterization of all available complete coding sequences. Our analyses suggested separation of host-dependent lineages, followed by geographic clustering. Surveillance of orthohantaviruses using complete genomes would be useful for assessing public health threats from Dobrava virus.

Additionally, the relationship between the amount of blood transfusion and preoperative and postoperative platelet counts was evaluated.
Material And Methods: This study included 38 patients with craniosynostosis who underwent surgery between July 2017 and March 2019.
