  • Biofilm Formation and Virulence Genes in Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates Causing Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
    Besim Çam, Elif Sevim, Lokman Hizmali
    Klimik Dergisi, 2026
    Objective: This study aimed to investigate phenotypic biofilm formation and the presence of biofilm-associated and virulence genes in multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii isolates causing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Methods: Twenty-three MDR A. baumannii isolates were collected from tracheal aspirate samples of mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit between 2022 and 2023. Biofilm formation was assessed using the microtiter plate crystal violet assay. The presence of biofilm-associated and virulence genes (bap, csuE, ompA, pgaB, csgA, abaI, adeG, traT, cpaA, cnf-1, cnf-2, kpsMII, epsA, ptk, fimH, pilA, basD, bauA, and omp33-36) was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: All isolates demonstrated strong biofilm formation. The genes bap, csuE, ompA, and pgaB were present in all isolates, while fimH, csgA, adeG, traT, cpaA, cnf-1, cnf-2, kpsMII, pilA, bauA, and omp33-36 were absent in all samples. The quorum-sensing gene abaI and the siderophore-related gene basD were detected in all isolates. Capsule-associated genes epsA and ptk were identified in 16.6% and 54.2% of isolates, respectively. Conclusion: The consistent detection of strong biofilm formation and presence of bap, csuE, ompA, and pgaB genes in VAP-associated MDR A. baumannii isolates suggests a potential association between biofilm formation and virulence. The absence of fimH and csgA genes indicates that these genes may not be the determining factors for biofilm formation in these isolates. Furthermore, the presence of abaI, basD, epsA, and ptk genes is consistent with a possible involvement in biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
  • Determination of Class-1 and Class-2 Integron Gen Casettes in Klebsiella pneumoniae Causing Ventilator-associated Pneumonia

    Mikrobiyoloji Bulteni, 2025
    Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major pathogen in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and poses a significant challenge in healthcare-associated infections due to its multidrug resistance (MDR). Mobile genetic elements such as integrons are key factors in the spread of resistance genes in pathogens like K.pneumoniae. This study aimed to detect class 1 and class 2 integron gene cassettes in K.pneumoniae isolates from VAP patients. A total of 22 isolates were collected between 2022 and 2023 from the intensive care unit of Kırşehir Training and Research Hospital. DNA was extracted using the boiling method and integrons were amplified via polymerase chain reaction with specific primers. Amplified fragments were cloned into the pJET1.2/blunt vector and sequenced. Sequences were processed using BioEdit and compared with the NCBI BLAST GenBank database to identify gene cassette contents. Identified sequences were submitted to GenBank and assigned accession numbers. Class 1 integrons were found in five isolates (22.7%) and class 2 integrons in two isolates (9.1%). Class 1 integrons harboured dfrA12 responsible for trimethoprim resistance and aadA which provides resistance to aminoglycoside group antibiotics. In class 2 integrons, dfrA1, sat2 and aadA1 were identified which confer resistance to trimethoprim, streptothricin and streptomycin/spectinomycin, respectively. The results of this study demonstrate that integrons play a significant role in the spread of hospital-acquired MDR K.pneumoniae isolates. Strengthening infection control measures and monitoring antibiotic resistance mechanisms are crucial for controlling antibiotic-resistant isolates seen in hospitals. This study will contribute to understanding the genetic makeup of VAP-related K.pneumoniae isolates, determining appropriate treatment approaches and controlling hospital-acquired infections.

    Background: Surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis (SAP) is the peri-operative administration of antimicrobial agents. Compliance rates vary worldwide from 15% to 84.3%, with studies in Turkey not exceeding 35%. The aim of this multicenter study was to determine the rate of appropriate antibiotic class, timing, and duration as well as discharge prescriptions in Turkey. Thus, we aimed to determine the rate of full compliance with SAP procedures in our country Patients and Methods: This multicenter, prospective, observational, descriptive study was conducted in 47 hospitals from 28 provinces in seven different regions of Turkey. Patients over 18 years of age in all surgical units between June 6, 2022, and June 10, 2022, were included in the study. Results: Of the 7,978 patients included in the study, 332 were excluded from further analyses because of pre-existing infection, and SAP compliance analyses were performed on the remaining 7,646 cases. The antibiotic most commonly used for SAP was cefazolin (n = 4,701; 61.5%), followed by third-generation cephalosporins (n = 596; 7.8%). The most common time to start SAP was within 30 minutes before surgery (n = 2,252; 32.5%), followed by 30 to 60 minutes before surgery (n = 1,638; 23.6%). Surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis duration was <24 hours in 3,516 (50.7%) patients and prolonged until discharge in 1,505 (21.7%) patients. Finally, the actual proportion of patients compliant with SAP was 19% (n = 1,452) after omitting 4,458 (58.3%) patients who were prescribed oral antibiotic agents at discharge as part of a prolonged SAP. Conclusions: Surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis compliance rates are still very low in Turkey. Prolonged duration of SAP and especially high rate of antibiotic prescription at discharge are the main reasons for non-compliance with SAP.

    Journal of Neurosciences in Rural Practice, 2023
    Objectives: Data are limited regarding the relationship of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet/ lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with neurological symptoms (NS) in COVID-19 patients. This study is the first to assess the utility of the NLR, MLR, and PLR for predicting COVID-19 severity in infected patients with NS. Materials and Methods: Consecutive 192 PCR-positive COVID-19 patients with NS were included in this cross-sectional and prospective study. The patients were classified into the non-severe and severe groups. We analyzed routinely complete blood count in these groups in terms of COVID-19 disease severity. Results: Advanced age, a higher body mass index, and comorbidities were significantly more common in the severe group (P &lt; 0.001). Among the NS, anosmia (P = 0.001) and memory loss (P = 0.041) were significantly more common in the non-severe group. In the severe group, the lymphocytes and monocyte counts and the hemoglobin level were significantly lower, while the neutrophil count, NLR, and PLR were significantly higher (all P &lt; 0.001). In the multivariate model, advanced age and a higher neutrophil count were independently associated with severe disease (both P &lt; 0.001) but the NLR and PLR were not (both P &gt; 0.05). Conclusion: We found positive associations of COVID-19 severity with the NLR and PLR in infected patients with NS. Further research is required to shed more light on the role of neurological involvement in disease prognosis and outcomes.

    Burc E. Sahin, Asuman Celikbilek, Yusuf Kocak, Bilal Ilanbey, Gamze T. Saltoglu, Naime M. Konar, Lokman Hizmali
    Journal of Medical Virology, 2023
    OBJECTIVE A wide spectrum of neurological symptoms (NS) has been described in patients with COVID-19. We examined the plasma levels of neuron spesific enolase (NSE) and neurofilament light chain (NFL) together, as neuronal damage markers, and their relationships with clinical severity in patients with NS at acute COVID-19. METHODS A total of 20 healthy controls and 59 patients with confirmed COVID-19 were enrolled in this pilot prospective study. Serum NSE and NFL levels were measured by using enzymle linked immunoassay method from serum samples. RESULTS Serum NSE levels were found to be significantly higher in the severe group than in the non-severe group (p=0.034). However, serum NFL levels were similar between control and disease groups (p>0.05). For mild group, serum NFL levels were significantly higher in patients with the sampling time ≥ 5 days than in those with the sampling time < 5 days (p=0.019). However, no significant results for NSE and NFL were obtained in patients with either single or multiple NS across the groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Increased serum NSE levels were associated with disease severity regardless of accompanied NS in patients with acute COVID-19 infection. However, serum NFL levels may have a role at the subacute phase of COVID-19. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

    OBJECTIVE COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus and turned into a pandemic in a short time, affects many organs and systems, especially the nervous system. In the present study, it was aimed to determine the morphological and volumetric changes in cortical and subcortical structures in recovered COVID-19 patients. BACKGROUND We think that COVID-19 has a long-term effect on cortical and subcortical structures. METHODS In our study, 50 post-COVID-19 patients and 50 healthy volunteers participated. In both groups, brain parcellations were made with Voxel-Based Morphometry (VBM) and regions showing density changes in the brain and cerebellum were determined. Gray matter (GM), white matter, cerebrospinal fluid and total intracranial volume were calculated. RESULTS Neurological symptoms developed in 80% of COVID-19 patients. In post-COVID-19 patients, a decrease in GM density was detected in pons, gyrus frontalis inferior, gyri orbitales, gyrus rectus, gyrus cinguli, lobus parietalis, gyrus supramarginalis, gyrus angularis, hippocampus, lobulus semilunaris superior of cerebellum, declive, and Brodmann area 7-11-39-40. There was a significant decrease in GM density in these regions and an increase in GM density in amygdala (p<0.001). The GM volume of post-COVID-19 group was found to be less than in the healthy group. CONCLUSIONS As a result, it was seen that COVID-19 negatively affected many structures related to the nervous system. This study is a pioneering study to determine the consequences of COVID-19, especially in the nervous system, and to determine the etiology of these possible problems (Tab. 4, Fig. 5, Ref. 25).
