Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate antibiotic resistance rates, biofilm formation, and anti-quorum-sensing activities in different groups of Corynebacteria from clinical infections.
- A total of 240 isolates were categorized into three groups based on their growth patterns: pure, with another pathogenic bacterium, and polymicrobial.
- The results showed that 58% of isolates were pure, with identified species mainly being C. striatum, C. amycolatum, and C. afermentans, and highlighted significant antibiotic resistance, especially to rifampicin and tetracycline.
Objective: Because of the coronavirus disease 19 pandemic, studies on vaccination are being conducted in our country as well as across the world. In this study, the antibody levels in healthcare workers vaccinated with two doses of inactivated vaccine and the factors affecting these levels were investigated.
Methods: Randomly selected volunteers from healthcare workers, who had been vaccinated with two doses of inactivated vaccine in January to February 2021, were included in the study.
