Evaluation of Antibiotic Resistance and , , Efflux Pump Genes among Foodborne and Clinical spp. in Türkiye.

Background: The adeABC efflux pump has a crucial role in the resistance of strains to antimicrobial agents; it is encoded by genes. We evaluated antibiotic resistance, efflux pump genes, clonal relationships, and analyzed a probable correlation that can exist between antibiotic resistance and the aforementioned genes.

Methods: We conducted this study on 27 food-originated and 50 human clinical spp.

NDM-1 and rmtC-Producing Isolates in Turkey.

Background: The resistance of aminoglycosides in strains that produce beta-lactamase can be developed through the multidrug resistant encoding genes carried by common plasmids. Recently, the association between 16S rRNA methyltransferase resistance and beta-lactamase enzymes carried by the same plasmids has drawn increased attention from researchers, particularly the association in aminoglycoside-resistant strains with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ≥ 256 µg/mL.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the co-existence of 16S rRNA methyltransferase and beta-lactamase genes in multidrug resistant (MDR) strains isolated from clinical samples.

Re-emergence of genotype G9 during a five-and-a-half-year period in Turkish children with rotavirus diarrhea.

This study was done to understand the dynamics of rotavirus genotype distribution in Turkish children. Samples were collected from January 2006 through August 2011 from children at a hospital in Ankara. Rotavirus was detected in 28 % (241/889) of the samples.

Clinical characteristics of Turkish women with Candida krusei vaginitis and antifungal susceptibility of the C. krusei isolates.

Objective: Candida krusei causes approximately 1% of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) cases and is naturally resistant to fluconazole. Antifungal testing may be required if C. krusei vaginitis fails to respond to non-fluconazole therapy, particularly in patients with recurrent infections.

[Investigation of norovirus infection incidence among 0-5 years old children with acute gastroenteritis admitted to two different hospitals in ankara, Turkey].

Norovirus causes severe gastroenteritis requiring hospitalization especially in children less than five years of age both in developed and developing countries. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the incidence of norovirus (NoV) in 0-5 years old children with acute gastroenteritis in two large hospitals in Ankara, Turkey. Stool samples were obtained from 1000 (413 female, 587 male) children between 0-5 years old with acute gastroenteritis who attended to the Department of Paediatrics, Ministry of Health Ankara Training and Education Hospital and affiliated hospital of Gazi University Faculty of Medicine between October 2004 and June 2011.

[Rotavirus prevalence in children with acute gastroenteritis and the distribution of serotypes and electropherotypes].

Rotavirus is the major cause of gastroenteritis in children worldwide as well as in Turkey. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of rotavirus infection in children with acute gastroenteritis and to investigate the prevalent rotavirus serotypes and electropherotypes. Stool specimens collected from 251 (108 female, 143 male) children age between 0-5 years old who were admitted to Gazi University Hospital between April 2009 and February 2010 were included to the study.
