    Identification of 30-kDa heat shock protein gene in Trichophyton rubrum
    (Wiley, 2009) Behzadi, Elham; Behzadi, Payam; Sırmatel, Fatma
    Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are chaperones that are crucial in the heat shock response but also have important non-stress roles within the cell. HSP70 in Trichophyton rubrum is already detected and carefully characterised; however, no study was carried out for HSP30 in this pathogenic fungus. In the present study, T. rubrum was obtained from patients with dermatophytosis and cultured in appropriate conditions. High-molecular-weight DNA was extracted using standard extraction methods. Pairs of 21 nt primers were designed from highly conserved regions of the similar genes in other eukaryotic cells. Mentioned primers were utilised in PCR using isolated genomic DNA and extracted RNA templates of T. rubrum. The PCR fragments were then sequenced and 415 nucleotides of HSP30 in this pathogenic fungus were detected; the open reading frame had 156 nucleotides and was coding 51 amino acids. This gene (called TrHSP30) is registered in GenBank at National Center for Biotechnology Information (NIH, USA) database. Detection of TrHSP30 gene may open the way to determination of its possible role in the pathogenesis of dermatophyte infections due to T. rubrum.

    Nosocomial infections and cases of sphingomonas paucimobilis
    (2019) Sırmatel, Fatma; Behzadi, Elham; Karabay, Oğuz; Özensoy, Aynur
    Sphingomonas paucimobilis (S. paucimobilis), especially in patients with immune suppressive and very rare in healthy people, attracted attention recently, causing nosocomial infections, is a gram-negative, aerobic bacillus. This bacterial nosocomial infection in our hospital as a first six-month period, six times was isolated from five patients. These five patients were acute peritonitis, vaginal cuff, surgical field, soft tissue and bloodstream infection. The identification of microbiological methods known to S. paucimobilis was examined by the antibiotic sensitivity disk diffusion test. Antibiotic sensitivity of the isolated bacteria were the same. From the environment and environment cultures S. paucimobilis was isolated once from the use water as a hospital infection effect. It was realized that the chlorination of hospital waters was inadequate during that period. Our hospital was thought to have a small epidemic. In conclusion, S. paucimobilis has recently been investigated in the context of literature with the belief that a new nosocomial infection will be affected.
