A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Molecular Characteristics on Colistin Resistance of .

Background: This study aimed to determine the molecular epidemiology of colistin-resistant in the last ten years and the frequency of gene regions related to pathogenesis, to compare the methods used to detect genes, and to confirm colistin resistance.

Methods: This meta-analysis study was conducted under Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Guidelines. In the meta-analysis, research articles published in English and Turkish in electronic databases between January 2012 and November 2023 were examined.

Latest status of non-tuberculous mycobacteria prevalence in Türkiye and the world: Systematic review.

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) can cause diseases not only in individuals with compromised immune systems but also in those with normal immune function. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of NTM in Türkiye and worldwide between 2012 and 2022. This study was designed following the guidelines outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) procedure.

Molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant isolates in Turkiye: Systematic review.

The World Health Organization has designated carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) as a "critical" pathogen on the global priority list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This study aims to discuss the molecular epidemiology of CRAB isolates in Turkiye in the last 12 years and the prevalence of gene regions associated with resistance or pathogenesis using a systematic review method. Our study consists of a literature search, determination of eligibility and exclusion criteria, qualitative analysis of studies, data extraction, and statistical analysis.

Antimicrobial resistance of Enterococcus isolates in Turkey: A meta-analysis of current studies.

Objectives: In this study, a meta-analysis of Enterococcus isolates collected in 2000-2015 in Turkey and their susceptibility/resistance to antibiotics, clinical indications for initial drug treatment, and identification of alternative treatments was conducted.

Methods: The meta-analysis examined antibiotic susceptibility/resistance in Enterococcus spp. isolates.
