Background: The spread of antibiotic-resistance genes among healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) poses serious problems in the treatment of these infections. Recently, these resistance genes have also been shown to be present in integrons.
Objectives: By focusing on integron-mediated mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, we sought to elucidate the genetic determinants underpinning the development of multidrug resistance in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii.
Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the thorax Computed Tomography (CT) findings of pediatric patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) and to discuss these findings in light of the results of adult patients from the literature.
Methods: The CT scans of pediatric patients (1-18 years old) with a diagnosis of COVID-19 by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in our hospital between March 2020 and January 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The scans were interpreted regarding the distribution and localization features, and involvement patterns including ground-glass opacity, consolidation, halo/reversed halo sign, interlobular septal thickening, air bronchograms and bronchiectasis.
