A Case of Thyroid Gland Abscess Caused by Brucella melitensis
Mikrobiyol Bul. 2024 Apr;58(2):217-223. doi: 10.5578/mb.20249810.ABSTRACTBrucellosis is a zoonotic disease endemic in many developing countries, including Türkiye. Among the species that are pathogenic for humans; Brucella melitensis is isolated from livestock animals like sheep and goats, Brucella abortus from cattle and Brucella suis from pigs. Laboratory diagnosis of infection caused by Brucella species with gram-negative coccobacillus morphology; can be made through characteristic culture features, serological tests and molecular methods. Brucellosis, which has a wide distribution of clinical signs and symptoms; can c...

Molecular Analysis of Antibiotic Resistance in CarbapenemResistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates Isolated from Clinical Samples
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the molecular epidemiology of 47 carbapenem resistant P.aeruginosa (CRPA) isolates derived from various clinical samples from the Central Laboratory Bacteriology Unit of Kocaeli University Research and Training Hospital between October 2021 and March 2023. The rates of resistance to the antibiotics, some carbapenemase and virulence genes, conjugative resistance plasmids, integron gene cassette contents and the clonal similarity of the isolates were investigated and then epidemiologically evaluated. In the study, identification of the bacterial isolates and their susceptibility to ...

A Case Report of Salmonella enterica Meningitis in an Infant: A Rare Entity not to Forget
CONCLUSION: Invasive Salmonella diseases, such as meningitis, are very uncommon in industrial countries nowadays, and the optimal management is yet not well established. Late onset of com-plications from Salmonella meningitis warrants more thorough neurodevelopmental follow-ups.PMID:38676483 | DOI:10.2174/0118715265286206240402050756 (Source: Infectious Disorders Drug Targets)

Detection of Pharmaceutically Active Compounds in Tap Water Samples by Direct Injection HPLC/MS-MS: A Danger Signal in Deficiency in Residue Management
Bull Environ Contam Toxicol. 2024 Apr 26;112(5):67. doi: 10.1007/s00128-024-03897-8.ABSTRACTTo date, there is an increased risk to public health and the environment due to the presence of pharmaceutically active compounds within drinking water supply and distribution networks. Owing to this, a direct injection-HPLC/MS-MS method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 16 active pharmaceutical compounds in tap water samples: amoxicillin, ampicillin, cephalexin, cefotaxime, cefuroxime, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, cyproterone, erythromycin, flutamide, spironolactone, sulfamethoxazol...
