A mouse model of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) intestinal colonization was used to study the effect of different subcutaneous antibiotics on persistence and density of VRE colonization. Gastric inoculation of a clinical VanB VRE isolate, in conjunction with oral vancomycin in drinking water (250 microgram/mL), resulted in high-level VRE colonization (mean, 9.5 log10 cfu/g) in ...

Abstract Robinsoniella peoriensis is a gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic rod. In our study, we isolated R. from an open fracture of the left distal tibia three-year-old male patient. Tissue culture was positive for . It identified with both matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and confirmed via 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The patient responded to ampi...

The antibiotic susceptibility test was carried out on 103 Staphylococcus aureus and 136 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) strains. Only 35 of the isolates were susceptible to all antibiotics tested, while the remaining 204 isolates were resistant at least to one of the antibiotics. Among staphylococci, 18 isolates of S. aureus and 31 isolates of CNS were found phenotypically resistant to m...

Chromobacterium violaceum is a gram negative straight rod, 0.8-1.2 by 2.5 to 6.0 m, which is motile by one polar flagella and one to four lateral flagella. The organism inhabits soil and water and is often found in semitropical and tropical climates. Infections in humans are rare. We report a case of infection caused by strains of C. violaceum. A 38-year-old male patient was admitted to KyungHe...

As an extreme environment, soda lakes harbor various haloalkaliphilic microorganisms. Salda Lake is one of the natural lake (pH?9) in Turkey. Haloalkaliphiles are unique microorganisms their ability to live high alkaline and saline conditions, play important role biodegradation bioremediation hydrocarbons. Hence, aims this study were isolate bacteria from water sample Lake, identify these isola...
