Bloodstream Infections Caused by Staphylococcus Aureus in A University Hospital in Turkey: Clinical and Molecular Epidemiology of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2004)
In total, 177 patients with bloodstream infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (BSISA) were investigated prospectively between June 1999 and June 2001. Of these, 19.8% had community-acquired BSISA, while 80.2% had ...
Effect of 1-(1-Naphthylmethyl)-Piperazine, A Novel Putative Efflux Pump Inhibitor, on Antimicrobial Drug Susceptibility in Clinical Isolates of Enterobacteriaceae Other Than Escherichia Coli
(Oxford Univ Press, 2006)
Objectives: 1-(1-Naphthylmethyl)-piperazine (NMP) has been shown to reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) in Escherichia coli overexpressing RND type efflux pumps, but there is no data on its activity in Enterobacteriaceae ...
Risk Factors and Predictors of Outcome in Patients with Cancer and Breakthrough Candidemia
(Univ Chicago Press, 2001)
Hematogenous candidiasis adds substantially to the morbidity and mortality rates of patients with cancer. Little is known about the risk factors and outcome in patients with breakthrough (BT) candidemia while on systemic ...
Epidemiology Of Penicillin Resistance In Streptococcus Pneumoniae Isolates In Kayseri, Turkey
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2001)
Objective To determine the penicillin resistance and serotype distribution of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains and to identify clonal relationships of isolates resistant to penicillin by means of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ...
Sulbactam-Containing Beta-Lactamase Inhibitor Combinations
(Blackwell Publishing, 2008)
Sulbactam irreversibly inhibits the hydrolytic activity of beta-lactamases. This compound is commercially available in combination with either ampicillin or cefoperazone. In each instance, the activity of the partner ...
In Vitro Activities Of New Quinolones Against Brucella Melitensis Isolated In A Tertiary-Care Hospital In Turkey
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2002)
We have evaluated the in vitro activities of seven fluoroquinolones against 69 strains of Brucella melitensis . According to their minimum inhibitory concentration for 90% growth (MIC90 ) values, the most active agent was ...
New Antimicrobial Agents For The Treatment Of Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2008)
Since the 1970s, resistance to antimicrobial agents has become an escalating problem. In the last 25 years, treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria has been more problematical than ever, with infections ...
Results Of Two Worldwide Surveys Into Physician Awareness And Perceptions Of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2004)
An omnibus survey of microbiologists (n = 400) and a survey of participants (n = 49) in the Meropenem Yearly Susceptibility Test Information Collection (MYSTIC) programme were conducted to determine the awareness and ...
Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance Among Gram-Negative Isolates from Intensive Care Units in Eight Hospitals in Turkey
(Oxford Univ Press, 2000)
With the participation of eight major reference hospitals in Turkey, 749 aerobic Gram-negative isolates obtained from 473 intensive care patients in 1997 were tested for their susceptibility to 13 commonly employed ...
In Vitro Activity Of Nystatin Compared With Those Of Liposomal Nystatin, Amphotericin B, And Fluconazole Against Clinical Candida Isolates
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2002)
We investigated the in vitro activity of nystatin and liposomal nystatin against 103 Candida isolates to determine the effect of both time and medium on MICs. We also compared the nystatin MICs with those of amphotericin ...
