    Nowadays, there is a rising worldwide incidence of diseases caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species, especially in immunocompromised patients and those with underlying chronic pulmonary diseases. Recently, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) became a method of choice for the identification of NTM species. The aim of this study was to evaluate MALDI-TOF MS for the identification of NTM isolates compared to the PCR-restriction enzyme analysis (PRA)-hsp65 method. In this study, a total of 152 NTM strains isolated from various clinical specimens were retrospectively analysed. MALDI-TOF MS successfully identified 148 (97.4%) of the 152 NTM isolates but failed to identify four (2.6%) of them. Bruker mycobacteria library gave spectral scores higher than 2.0 for 45 (29.6%) of NTM isolates, between 1.6 and 2.0 for 98 (64.5%) of NTM isolates, and lower than 1.6 for nine (5.9%) NTM isolates. The discordant results between MALDI-TOF MS and PRA-hsp65 analysis were confirmed by sequence analysis. In conclusion, MALDI-TOF MS is a technique capable of performing accurate, rapid, cost-effective, and easy identification of NTM isolates. © 2018 by EDIMES - Edizioni Internazionali Srl.

    Evaluation of pandemic influenza a (H1N1) cases in van region [Van bölgesinde pandemik influenza a (H1N1) olgularinin irdelenmesi]
    (Nobelmedicus, 2014) Çıkman A.; Berktaş M.; Parlak M.; Bayram Y.; Yaman G.
    Objective: Influenza viruses have retained their importance throughout history by creating pandemics since the segmental structure of the RNA undergo frequent genetic changes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pandemic influenza A (H1N1) cases detected our region.Material and Method: Totally 570 patients were registered with pre-diagnosis of Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) infection in five different hospitals located in Van region between 15 October 2009 - 15 January 2010. After nasopharyngeal/throat swab samples were taken from patients, they were sent to Refik Saydam Hygiene Center (RSHC) in accordance with the rules of biosafety, and specimens were investigated for Pandemic Influenza A(H1N1) 2009 by using Real-Time PCR method.Results: Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) was determined by RSHC as positive for 220 patients. 36 of these patients were in intensive care conditions, 85 were hospitalized and 16 passed away. 109 patients, who were diagnosed with Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1), were within range of 6-25 years. All patients in this age range were treated and discharged. The most common symptoms of patients who were hospitalized were defined as cough and fever. In these patients, the most common risk factors were as follows; being <5 years, having the cardiovascular disease, using immunosuppressive drugs and having lung disease.Conclusion: Pandemic influenza A (H1N1) infections are more frequent in young adults and patients without risk factor, unlike seasonal flu. When examining its effect on the society, Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 constitutes a good opportunity in terms of preparation of inevitable struggling with pandemics in the future. © 2014, Nobelmedicus.

    Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated from Van region four different sensitivity detection method antimycobacterial agents [Van yöresinde izole edilen Mycobacterium tuberculosis suşlari{dotless}ni{dotless}n dört farkli{dotless} yöntemle antimikobakteriyel ajanlara duyarli{dotless}li{dotless}k tespiti]
    (Ankara University, 2014) Baykal E.S.; Güdücüoglu H.; Yaman G.; Berktaş M.
    Introduction: The purpose of this study is detecting the susceptibility rates of 58 Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains which were isolated from patient specimens sent to our mycobacteriology laboratory, for major anti-tuberculosis drugs like streptomycin, isoniazid, rifampicin and ethambutol with three different systems and agar proportion method and compare the accessibility, speed, specificity and sensitivity of these three systems. Materials and Methods: With this purpose, 58 (96.6%) strains out of 60 which were isolated from the patients attended to the mycobacteriology laboratory were identified as M. tuberculosis complex with conventional methods. These strains susceptibilities to four major anti-tuberculosis drugs were detected with Manuel MGIT AST SIRE system, BacT/ALERT 3D system MB/BacT SIRE, TK anti-TB system and compared with reference method in Middlebrook 7H10 media. Results: As a result, INH resistance in Van province with agar proportion method was detected as 12%, followed by INH + RIF resistance of 1.7% and INH + SM resistance of 1.7%. These result compared with other studies conducted country wide are in median range. The systems included in our study were determined to have 100% sensitivity for all of the drugs for detecting resistance and sensitivity rates. Specificities for INH for TK anti-TB, MGIT and MB/BacT were detected as 98%, 96% and 95% respectively. Multidrug resistance rates were detected in 100% sensitivity and specificity with all of the three systems. Only MB/BacT system gave a false negative RIF resistance for 1 strain. Fastest system according to resistance determination times is found to be the MGIT system. Conclusion: However, presence of INH + RIF resistance pattern, indicates inadequate treatment programs in our region. As a result these three systems are fast and reliable systems for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium spp. to be used in routine mycobacteriology laboratories.
