Methods: Urine specimens sent from various units to micro-biology laboratory between January 2016 and December 2017 were examined, and urines with pyuria and yielding a significant bacteriuria were included in the study. The identification, susceptibility tests , and ESBL production of the bacteria were determined by the VITEK ® 2 automated system. Results: A total of 4352 urine specimens showed significant bacteriuria. The most commonly isolated microorganisms were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp. and Enterococcus spp. ESBL positivity was found in 17.9% of Enterobacteriaceae , and it was detected more frequently in bacteria isolated from males, inpatients and patients over 65 years of age ( p <0.001). In the presence of ESBL positivity, sensitivity rates of nearly all antibiotics except fosfomycin and nitrofurantoin were significantly low. When antibiotic sensitivity rates of E. coli and Klebsiella spp. were compared between the outpatients and inpatients, antibiotic sensitivity rates in inpatients were low. Nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin were the most active antibiotics for both E. coli and Klebsiella spp. in outpatients; whereas amoxicillin-clavulanate, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and ciprofloxacin were the less active ones. The most active parenteral antibiotics against E. coli and Klebsiella spp. were piperacillin-tazobactam, carbapen-ems and aminoglycosides.","PeriodicalId":17826,"journal":{"name":"Klimik Dergisi/Klimik Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91369241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the presence of hepatosteatosis might negatively affect the efficacy of antiviral therapy. We aimed to determine the effect of hepatosteatosis on virological response in patients with CHB receiving entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir (TDF) treatment. Methods: The study was designed retrospectively. All patients receiving antiviral therapy due to CHB in the departments of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology of 29 different hospitals between January 2012 and June 2017 were searched by examining medical records. Results: A total of 1069 patients were included. Six hundred and fifty of the patients had been receiving TDF and 419 of them had been receiving ETV. The rate of virological response obtained at the 48th week of TDF was higher in patients with steatosis (p=0.029). Virological response at the 24th week and 48th week of ETV were higher in the patients without steatosis (p=0.001). TDF and ETV therapies were compared in the patients with hepatosteatosis and it was found that the virological response at 48th week was higher in the TDF group. Conclusion: Although steatosis has an effect on virological response in the short-term results of nucleos(t)ide therapy, it does not have any effect on virological response in the long-term results.
