Of the zooparasiter agents protozoon and helminths were also investigated. We determined the mentioned agents in 28 of 125 patients (% 22.40). C. jejuni was isolated the most frequent cause of diarrhea with 8.80 percent. C. jejuni was isolated in high ratio from women more than men and from children more than adults. No bacterial infection agents were determined in control group but intestinal zooparasites were found with 18.85 percent.

The bacterium isolated from cerebrospinal fluid of the patient was only susceptible to netilmycin, imipenem, meropenem, ciprofloxacin and ticarcillin+clavulanic acid; resistant to amikacin, ampicillin, ampicillin sulbactam, penicillin G, cefixime, cefoperazone, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, and trimethoprim-sulphametaxosole. In this article, external ventricular drainage system-related nosocomial Acinetobacter baumanii menengitis is evaluated and announced as a rare case.

The susceptibilities of these strains to 16 antimicrobial agents were investigated by the disc-diffusion method according to the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. The production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and inducible beta-lactamases (IBLs) by the strains were investigated by the double-disc-synergy and disc-approximation methods, respectively. Imipenem was the most effective agent for Acinetobacter baumanii strains (95.9% of strains were sensitive), while meropenem and netilmicin showed moderate activity (87.7% and 79.6% of strains, respectively, responded). Acinetobacter baumanii strains were less sensitive to cefoperazone-sulbactam (53.1%), ofloxacin (51.0%), ciprofloxacin (42.8%), and amikacin (36.7%). Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and Acinetobacter iwoffii strains were sensitive to imipenem, meropenem and netilmicin. IBLs and ESBLs were produced, respectively, by 8.9% and 7.1% of all bacterial strains. The strains isolated were sufficiently sensitive to imipenem, but not to ofloxacin or ciprofloxacin, and were very resistant to amikacin.

The study included 573 serum samples taken in 2013 and 472 samples taken in 2017 from animals in mixed herds of sheep and goats from 84 farms in Northeast Anatolia. Phase I and phase II IgG antibodies against Coxiella burnetii in serum samples were investigated by IDEXX ELISA (Q fever Ab Test IDEXX Laboratories, USA) indirect ELISA kits. Seroprevalence of Coxiella burnetii IgG in Artvin, Gümüşhane and Iğdır provinces was 5.6% in sheep, 1.8% in goats and 4.5% in total in 2013. In contrast, it was 24.4% in sheep, 1.1% in goats and 20.1% in total in 2017. According to the total seroprevalence rates calculated by including both sheep and goat population, it was seen that the province with the highest seroprevalence change in these animals was Iğdır with a 7.3-fold increase. Herd-level seroprevalence was 29.4% in 2013 and 57.6...
