Clostridium difficile and Clostridium perfringens research

This study aimed to assess the genetic diversity and potential epidemiological overlap of Staphylococcus aureus using molecular (spa and SCCmec typing) and phenotypic characterization of 108 isolates obtained along the farm-to-fork continuum (dairy and meat chains) and 50 human clinical isolates. Forty-four spa types,…

Infectious diarrhea is an increasing global healthcare issue due to the cause of mortality among children under five caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has further complicated treatment efforts, highlighting an urgent need for the d…

Objectives: We aimed to compare the treatment success and patient compliance of triple therapy with levofloxacin, high-dose dual therapy with amoxicillin, and quadruple therapy with bismuth and levofloxacin as first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication using amoxicillin 875 mg + clavulanic ac…

Aim: This study aimed to detect Helicobacter pylori DNA, major virulence genes (cagA, vacA s1/s2, iceA1/A2), and clarithromycin resistance-associated mutations directly from stool samples of patients presenting with gastrointestinal complaints using molecular techniques.Material and Method: Stool samples from 60 patie…

Giriş: Enterokoklar, çok çeşitli çevresel ortamlarda bulunabilen, gram-pozitif, fırsatçı patojenlerdir.Bağışıklığı bozulmuş bireylerde septisemi, idrar yolu infeksiyonu, endokardit gibi pek çok infeksiyona yol açarlar ve tedavide kullanılan mevcut antibiyotiklere direnç geliştirmişlerdir.Alternatif tedavi yöntemlerind…

INTRODUCTION: Non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) other than Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter species remain largely underrepresented in systematic surveillance programs across Europe. METHODS: We conducted a multicentre retrospective observational study analysing all minor NFGNB isolates recovered from blood cu…

In this study, we aimed to isolate and genotype H. pylori strains from gastric biopsies of patients having gastroduodenal complaints. Our isolation rate was 32.8% (64/21),suggesting that culture was a relatively weak diagnostic tool for H. pylori infection. We used multiplex PCR to identify the cagA, vacA s1/s2, and v…
