- The research found that Gram-negative bacteria, particularly extended-spectrum β-lactamase and carbapenem-resistant strains, are increasing significantly, with colistin resistance also rising sharply.
- The authors emphasize the importance of ongoing monitoring in intensive care units to combat the spread of antibiotic-resistant infections through better stewardship and infection control measures.
Introduction: Our knowledge has gaps regarding severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication levels and its association to severity of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The aim of this study was to investigate the association of SARS-CoV-2 viral load with disease severity and serum biomarkers in COVID-19 patients.
Methodology: Viral load was determined via cycle threshold (Ct) values of SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 214 adult patients.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the distribution of anti- immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immünoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in patients with suspected toxoplasmosis admitted to the Practice and Research Center of Health of the Medical Faculty of Uludağ University.
Methods: The blood samples examined for the presence of anti- IgG antibody and anti- IgM antibody by an enzyme linked fluorescent assay test, anti- IgG avidity value was evaluated by VIDAS (BioMérieux, France) kit.
Results: In our study, anti- IgG seropositivity in 3311 (30.
