Prevalence of Erm Genes Encoding Macrolide-Lincosamide-Streptogramin (Mls) Resistance Among Clinical Isolates of Staphylococcus Aureus in A Turkish University Hospital
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006)
This study investigated the prevalence of the erm(A), erm(B) and erm(C) genes among 122 MLS-resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from a Turkish university hospital. Of these isolates, 44 were inducibly ...
Rapid Determination of Rifampin Resistance in Clinical Isolates of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis by Real-Time Pcr
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2005)
Real-time PCR was used to determine rifampin resistance in clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Ninety-six rifampin-resistant isolates and 23 rifampin-susceptible isolates were included in the study. A 305-bp ...
Preliminary Evaluation of an Immunochromatographic Strip Test for Specific Treponema Pallidum Antibodies
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2002)
We evaluated a prototype immunochromatographic strip (ICS) test for qualitative detection of Treponema pallidum antibodies in 353 sera from 157 patients. For sera from 43 syphilis patients, the ICSs were reactive, while ...
Plasma Glycine and Serine Levels in Schizophrenia Compared to Normal Controls and Major Depression: Relation to Negative Symptoms
(Oxford Univ Press, 2004)
Previous Studies have suggested decreased N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor function may contribute to increased negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Consistent with this hypothesis, glycine, ...
Rapid Detection of Rifampin Resistance in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Isolates by Heteroduplex Analysis and Determination of Rifamycin Cross-Resistance in Rifampin-Resistant Isolates
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2003)
Direct heteroduplex analysis and a universal heteroduplex generator assay were performed to detect rifampin resistance rapidly in Turkish Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. Cross-resistance to rifapentine, rifabutin, and ...
Risk Factors For Breast Cancer In Turkish Women With Early Pregnancies And Long-Lasting Lactation - A Case-Control Study
(Taylor & Francis As, 2002)
A hospital-based case-control study was carried out among 504 women with breast cancer and 610 controls to analyse the risk factors for breast cancer in Turkey. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) ...
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Heterogeneously Resistant To Vancomycin In A Turkish University Hospital
(Oxford Univ Press, 2005)
Objectives: We investigated vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) and heterogeneously vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (hetero-VISA) isolates from clinical specimens of hospitalized patients at Hacettepe ...
Mitochondrial Dna Analysis in The Turkish Leber'S Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Population
(Royal Coll Ophthalmologists, 2001)
Purpose To define the prevalence of a panel of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations associated with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) in the Turkish LHON population. LHON-associated mtDNA mutations have been found ...
Mefv Mutations In Systemic Onset Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
(Oxford Univ Press, 2009)
Objectives. Autoinflammatory diseases constitute a large spectrum of monogenic diseases like FMF or cryopyrin-associated periodic
syndromes (CAPS) and complex genetic trait diseases such as systemic onset juvenile idiopathic ...
Hfe H63D Mutation Frequency Shows An Increase In Turkish Women With Breast Cancer
(BioMed Central, 2006)
Background The hereditary hemochromatosis gene HFE plays a pivotal role in iron homeostasis. The association between cancer and HFE hetero- or homozygosity has previously been shown including hepatocellular and nonhepatocellular ...
