    Growth of Escherichia Coli in Atracurium, Rocuronium, Mivacurium, Cisatracurium, Pancuronium, and Vecuronium
    (Aves Yayincilik, Ibrahim Kara, 2009) Memis, Dilek; Otkun, Mueserref; Bahar, Meral; Sut, Necdet
    Objectives: We studied in vivo growth of Escherichia coli in atracurium, rocuronium, mivacurium, cisatracurium, pancuronium, and vecuronium. Patients and Methods: The pathogen was exposed to atracurium, rocuronium, mivacurium, cisatracurium, pancuronium and vecuronium for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24 h at room temperature, respectively. Results: The mean colony counts of Escherichia coli after exposure to rocuronium was significantly lower than the counts after exposure to atracurium, mivacurium, cisatracurium, pancuronium and vecuronium (p=0.002, 0.000, 0.000, 0.001, and 0.002, respectively). No significant difference was found with respect to the mean colony counts with atracurium, mivacurium, cisatracurium, pancuronium and vecuronium (p<0.05). Conclusion: Rocuronium had more powerful antimicrobial effects than the other neuromuscular agents.

    Oral Yeast Load and Species of Young Individuals Aged 18-25
    (Inst Tecnologia Parana, 2023) Ates, Guelcin Ozcan; Otkun, Mueserref
    Microbiota is considered an organ that affects the health of the human body and includes many microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, mold, viruses, protozoa, and archaea. Microorganism such as Candida sp., a part of the microbiota, is known to cause diseases in the case of opportunistic pathogens under various conditions. Yeast loads and species in the oral mycobiota of young individuals aged 18-25 were determined in our study. Two methods, centrifugation and dilution, were used to determine the oral yeast load. Samples were taken from 31 individuals for the centrifugation method, including 29 for the dilution method and five of these individuals. The samples were inoculated on Sabouraud 2% Dextrose Agar (SDA) and SDA containing chloramphenicol (SCAF). As a result, in young individuals aged 18-25, the oral yeast load was 0.01 +/- 0.01 and 1.87 +/- 0.01 log CFU in SCAF, and it was 0.01 +/- 0.01 and >3.00 +/- 0.01 log CFU in SDA. A total of 400 isolates were taken from the counting plates, and 140 were determined to be yeast by gram staining. Germ tube test of the isolates determined to be yeasts determined that 108 were probably Candida albicans or Candida dubliniensis. 140 isolates were also identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Isolates were identified as C. albicans (38.58%), C. albicans or C. africana (3.57%), C. dubliniensis (32.86%), C. parapsilosis (20%), C. inconspicua (2.14%), Pichia manshurica (2.14%), and Wickerhamomyces subpelliculosus (0.71%). It has been determined that young individuals between the ages of 18-25 carry Candida species in their oral mycobiota.
