Publication Metadata only Outcomes of Fecal Carriage of Extended-spectrum beta-Lactamase After Transrectal Ultrasound-guided Biopsy of the Prostate(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2014) ERTÜRK ŞENGEL, BUKET; Tigen, Elif Tukenmez; Tandogdu, Zafer; Ergonul, Onder; Altinkanat, Gulsen; Gunaydin, Bilal; Ozgen, Mahir; Sariguzel, Nevin; Sengel, Buket Erturk; Odabasi, Zekaver; Cek, Mete; Tokuc, Resit; Turkeri, Levent; Mulazimoglu, Lutfiye; Korten, VolkanOBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (PE) fecal carriage in patients that undergo transrectal ultrasonography-guided biopsy (TRUSbx) and its relationship with post-biopsy infections. METHODS A prospective clinical study in 4 different tertiary hospitals between 2008 and 2010 was conducted. Four hundred men with sterile urine who were to undergo a TRUSbx because of the suspicion of prostate cancer were included and followed for 14 days after biopsy. Rectal swab culture specimens were acquired immediately before the procedure. Demographic data, prophylaxis choice, quinolone or any other antibiotic consumption within the past 2 months, history of prostatitis, repeat biopsy, intensive care unit admission, hospitalization, urethral catheterization, diabetes mellitus (DM), and steroid usage were recorded. RESULTS ESBL carriage was detected in 19% of patients and quinolone use within the last 2 months; other antibiotic use within the last 2 months and DM were found to be significantly associated (P < .05). Symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) on the third day after biopsy was seen in 9% of patients and was associated with fluoroquinolone (FQ) consumption before biopsy. Although ESBL-PE carriage was associated with post-biopsy UTI symptoms, it was not found to be associated with post-biopsy symptomatic UTI. Urosepsis was seen in 2 patients (0.5%) after biopsy, and both the patients were ESBL-PE carriers. CONCLUSION The presence of ESBL-PE was associated with DM and FQ consumption before biopsy. ESBL-PE carriage was associated with a high rate of post-biopsy UTI symptoms requiring further elucidation; however, it was not associated with microbiologically proven infections. FQ consumption before TRUSbx was also associated with post-biopsy infections.

The finding led to the diagnosis of fungal endocarditis. Fluconazole, 600 mg daily, was commenced for 8 days; followed by amphotericin B, 1 mg/kg daily. On the fourth day of the amphotericin B treatment, the patient underwent replacement of the infected tricuspid valve. Even though the initial postoperative period was relatively uncomplicated, the patient died after a gross aspiration on the 67th day of his hospital stay, despite aggressive cardiovascular support and antimicrobial therapy. This is the first report of a native tricuspid valve fungal endocarditis due to C. colliculosa or Torulaspora delbrueckii , which is not known to be a human pathogen.Publication Open Access Epidemiology and susceptibility of pathogens from SMART 2011-12 Turkey: evaluation of hospital-acquired versus community-acquired urinary tract infections and ICU- versus non-ICU-associated intra-abdominal infections(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-01-25) DURMUŞOĞLU, LÜTFİYE; Koksal, Iftihar; Yilmaz, Gurdal; Unal, Serhat; Zarakolu, Pinar; Korten, Volkan; Mulazimoglu, Lutfiye; Tabak, Fehmi; Mete, Birgul; Oguz, Vildan Avkan; Gulay, Zeynep; Alp, Emine; Badal, Robert; Lob, SibylleObjectives: To describe the epidemiology and susceptibility of pathogens (including ESBL producers) from hospital-acquired (HA) versus community-acquired (CA) urinary tract infections (UTIs) and ICU-versus non-ICU-associated intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) in Turkey as a part of the SMART study. Methods: For this report, Gram-negative pathogens (363 from UTIs and 458 from IAIs) were collected in 2011 and 2012 at six hospitals in Turkey. HA versus CA UTIs and ICU-versus non-ICU-associated IAIs were compared for the species isolated, percentage of ESBL-positive isolates by species and susceptibility for overall and individual Gram-negative species. Results: Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen identified in HA (40.2%) and CA (73.9%) UTIs and ICU-associated (25.8%) and non-ICU-associated (43.3%) IAIs. The rate of ESBL-positive E. coli was significantly higher in HA than in CA UTIs (50.5% versus 38.2%, P < 0.001) and in non-ICU-associated than in ICU-associated IAIs (52.5% versus 29.2%, P = 0.029). Of the drugs studied, only amikacin was active against >= 90% of pathogens in UTIs, while ertapenem, imipenem and amikacin were active against >= 90% of E. coli; and imipenem, amikacin and cefoxitin were active against >= 90% of Klebsiella pneumoniae in IAIs. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that E. coli continues to be the principal pathogen of UTIs and IAIs in Turkey. Along with a high rate of ESBL-positive isolates, high antimicrobial resistance among Gram-negative bacilli from either UTIs or IAIs was noted particularly in the case of HA UTIs and ICU-associated IAIs, with a higher likelihood of carbapenem-or amikacin-based therapy to provide the broadest activity against bacterial pathogens.Publication Metadata only Outcomes of Fecal Carriage of Extended-spectrum b-Lactamase After Transrectal Ultrasound-guided Biopsy of the Prostate COMMENT Reply(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2014) ERTÜRK ŞENGEL, BUKET; Tigen, Elif Tukenmez; Tandogdu, Zafer; Ergonul, Onder; Altinkanat, Gulsen; Gunaydin, Bilal; Ozgen, Mahir; Sariguzel, Nevin; Sengel, Buket Erturk; Odabasi, Zekaver; Cek, Mete; Tokuc, Resit; Turkeri, Levent; Mulazimoglu, Lutfiye; Korten, Volkan
