tBackground: mecA is a predefined gene causing methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)isolates; however, it has been shown that some methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains do notcarry this gene. Recently, in isolates found to be MRSA-positive but mecA-negative, a new resistance gene called mecC, which is a homolog of mecA, has been reported. This study aimed to investigate the mecCand mecA genes in MRSA strains isolated from different geographic regions in Turkey.Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 494 MRSA strains isolated from seven geographical regionsi ...Daha fazlası

Background: We aimed to determine the geographical features and seroprevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi in Erzincan, Turkey, which has a high tick population due to its geographical position and climatic conditions. Methods: From January to December 2014, 368 people living in Erzincan, northeastern Turkey were enrolled. B. burgdorferi IgG antibodies were investigated in the collected serum samples using the ELISA method in 2015. Positive and borderline results were confirmed using the Western Blot (WB) method. Results: Borrelia burgdorferi IgG positivity was found to be 4.1% by ELISA and 2.17% ...Daha fazlası
