Objective: Antibiotic resistance has turned into a global public health problem in all over the world. Intestinal flora bacteria perform many important functions for human health. As a member of microbiota Escherichia coli cause many infections. This study was aimed to determine antibiotic susceptibility of microbiota member E. coli isolates against to the antibiotics that used in treatment.
Methods:One hundred and fifty stool samples, which were sent to Kırıkkale Yüksek İhtisas Hospital microbiology laboratory in a period of between March to December 2013 to study fecal occult blood test and were determined as "negative", were included in this study. E. coli isolates were performed antibiotic susceptibility test by the Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method according to the recommendations of the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).Results: A total of 70 out of 150 E. coli isolates were sensitive to all antibiotics that used in the study. Twenty four (16%) isolates were found to be ESBL producers. All isolates were found sensitive to carbapenems.
Conclusion:It was reached the conclusion that monitoring to resistance profiles of microbiota member E. coli isolates, especially in specific group patients in addition to infection agents, is important for giving direction to empirical therapy.
Sağlık sisteminde kalite uygulamalarının amacı hasta güvenliğidir. Laboratuvarlar bu süreçte tanının doğru konması ile hastaya doğru zamanda doğru tedavinin uygulanmasına aracılık eder. Sağlık sistemlerinde süreçler birbirinden bağımsız olmayıp, her süreç bir diğerini etkileyebilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda, laboratuvarda yanlış hastadan alınan kan örneğinin fark edilmesi ve kök-neden analizi yapılarak benzer hataların oluşmasına yönelik önlemlerin alınması vurgulanmıştır.
Objective: Herpesviruses are etiology of various neurological disorders causing morbidity and also mortality in both immunocompetent and immunocompromized children and adults. Viruses play an important role in etiology of encephalitis but their role is still unclear in neurologic diseases such as multiple sclerosis or Guillain-Barre syndrome. Studies revealed that only in few cases, viruses were isolated. But viruses are thought to have a role in triggering the diseases process or progression of the diseases in pathogenesis of neurological disorders, especially in multiple sclerosis. The aim of this study was detection of HSV-1 DNA by Real Time PCR in patients applying to our hospital with neurological symptoms and review of clinical picture in positive patients. Methods: Totally 150 patients whose samples sent to Molecular Microbiology Laboratory between
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
