BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to evaluate the association between the antibiotic susceptibility patterns and the antibiotic resistance genes in staphylococcal isolates obtained from various clinical samples of patients attending a teaching hospital in Hatay, Turkey. METHODS A total of 298 staphylococci clinical isolates were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testi...

The goal of this research was to evaluate the functional properties and safety antilisterial Enterococcus faecium BT29.11 isolated from Turkish Beyaz cheese. E. showed highest inhibitory activity against Listeria monocytogenes, followed by Staphylococcus aureus vancomycin-resistant enterococci. identified 16S rDNA sequence analysis, genus- species-specific PCR. entA, entB, entX structural genes...

background staphylococcus aureus is a common pathogen in hospitals and communities. antibiotic resistance is a major public health problem. objectives the aim of this study was the determination of antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and to perform molecular detection of macrolide and lincosamide-resistance genes in clinical s. aureus isolates from kerman, iran. conclusions a high prevalence ...
