OBJECTIVES Macrolide resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae pose an emerging problem globally. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of ermB and mefA genes (macrolide resistant genes) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and to detect drug resistance patterns of S. pneumoniae isolated from clinical samples to macrolides and other antibiotic agents by E-test method. MATERIAL...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the resistance patterns of bacteria in vitreous fluid from patients undergoing vitrectomy for diagnostic reasons, with bacteria of other nosocomial infections. METHODS Vitreous fluid samples (n=144) were obtained from 133 patients undergoing vitrectomy for endophthalmitis, and 11 for uveitis as suspected endophthalmitis. They were Gram stained and ...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Species and resistance rate of current pathogens is important for determining the appropriate treatment. P. aeruginosa is an essential issue in the group of patients with ear problems. The number of infections and relapses caused by this pathogen has been increasing with high percentage of antibiotic resistant strains responsible for treatment failure. Aim. The purpose o...

Background: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria are a real public health problem, particularly in Africa. Among these ESBLs, there the Muenchen Cefotaximase (CTX-M) described all over world of which most frequent is CTX-M group 1 CTX-M-15 variant. The objective this study was to determine prevalence ESBL-producing Escherichia coli strains and test their antibiotics suscep...
