    Late-onset Streptococcus pasteurianus sepsis in a preterm baby in a neonatal intensive care unit [Yenido?an yo?un bakım birimindeki erken do?muş bir bebekte geç başlangıçlı streptococcus pasteurianus sepsisi]
    (Kare Publishing, 2014) Tarakçi N.; Da?i H.T.; U?ur A.R.; Tuncer I.; Taştekin A.
    Apnea, cyanosis, lethargy and prolongation in capillary filling time developed on the postnatal 37th day in a preterm baby who was born at the 30th gestational week with a birth weight of 1 300 g. Acute phase reactants and immature/total neutrophil count ratio were found to be high. The patient who was diagnosed with sepsis was successfully treated with meropenem which was started empirically. In his blood culture Streptococcus pasteurianus grew. S. pasteurianus is in the subgroup of streptococcus bovis which is one of the D group streptococci and its previous name is S. bovis type II/2. In the literature, there are very few cases of neonatal infection related with this bacterium. As far as we know, this is first case of neonatal sepsis caused by S. pasteurianus in Turkey. In addition, we tried to determine the clinical properties of neonatal infections arising from S. pasteurianus by reviewing the literature. © 2014 by Turkish Pediatric Association.

    MLST types of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium strains isolated from blood cultures [Kan Kültürlerinden ízole Edilen Vankomisine Dirençli Enterococcus faecium Suşlarinin MLST Tipien]

    Enterococci, particularly vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), are important nosocomial pathogens with limited treatment options. Enterococci have low-level resistance to penicillins and aminoglycosides and are intrinsically resistant to cephalosporins. In addition, they can acquire high-level resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides and glycopeptides. The aim of this study was to determine glycopeptide resistance mechanisms and genetic relationships of vancomycin-resistant EJaecium strains isolated from blood cultures between 2003-2009 years by molecular epidemiologic methods. A total of 38 VRE strains isolated from blood cultures were included in this study. The isolates were identified by conventional methods and Phoenix 100 BD automated system (Becton Dickinson Diagnostic Systems, USA) and confirmed by sequence analysis of 16S rRNA amplicons. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method accor-ding to the CLSI standards. MIC values of vancomycin were determined in vancomycin resistant strains by E-test (AB Biodisk, Sweden) method. Vancomycin resistance genes included vanA, vanB, vanC, and vanD were investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Clonal relationship between strains was determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Sequence analysis was performed for examples selected for multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of each pulsotype and subtype. Thirty eight strains of enterococci isolated from blood cultures were defined as EJaecium by phenotypic methods and confirmed by 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Vancomycin MIC values of strains were determined as > 256 ?g/ml by E test. The vanA gene was detected in all isolates. Clonal relationship of 38 isolates E.Faecium carrying the vanA gene was determined by PFGE and MLST methods. PFGE detected four pulsotypes (A-D) and one sporadic isolate. Twenty nine strains belonged to A pulsotype, three strains belonged to B pulsotype, two strains belonged to C pulsotype and three strains belonged to D pulsotype. Out of 29 isolates, eight strains were type Al, nine strains were type A2, six strains were type A3, two strains were type A4 and four strains were type A5. MLST identified four different sequence types (STs). Twenty nine A pulsotype and its subtypes belonged to ST117 (76.3%), three B pulsotype belonged to ST280 (7.9%), two C pulsotype belonged to ST18 (5.2%) and three D pulsotype belonged to STI7 (7.9%). In conclusion, bloodstream infections caused by VRE in our hospital arose from a dominant strain belonged to ST117. However, presence of different pulsotypes of this strain indicated that the strain had been present in the hospital for a long time and had accumulated genetic variations. In addition, infections caused by minor pulsotypes were also detected. Therefore for prevention and control of the spread of nosocomial infections caused by VRE, it is crucial to identify resistance patterns and clonal relationship of these organisms.
