Provision and maintenance of adequate concentrations of antibiotics at infection sites is very important in treating highly resistant infections. For diseases like implant related osteomyelitis (IRO) it is best to provide this locally via implanted drug formulations, as systemic administration of the antibiotic may not be effective due to damaged vasculature. In this study, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) rods containing 7, 14 and 22% (mol) 3-hydroxyvalerate were loaded with sulbactam:cefoperazone or gentamicin(R) and their antibiotic release behaviours were studied under in vitro conditions in physiological phosphate buffer at room temperature. The release patterns were representative of release from monolithic devices where a rapid early release phase is followed by a slower and prolonged release. With PHBV 22 rods, the latter phase continued for similar to2 months. This duration is critical because a proper antibiotic therapy of IRO requires the minimal effective concentration for at least 6 weeks. After in vitro release, voids with sharp edges were detected on the rods, indicating that the drug crystals dissolved but the polymer did not undergo erosion within this test period. Changing the polymer:drug ratio from 2:1 to 20:1 substantially decreased the drug release rate. A change of polymer type, however, did not lead to any detectable changes in the release patterns. Gentamicin(R) release also followed a similar pattern, except that the concentration of the drug in the release medium exhibited a decrease after long release periods, indicating degradation (or decomposition) of the antibiotic in the release medium.

Conjugative transfer of antibiotic resistance genes from salmonella enterica serovar infantis to escherichia coli Cesur, Aylin; Soyer, Yeşim; Department of Food Engineering (2018) The usage and misusage of antibiotics in poultry, food-producing animals and human diseases have led to transmission of conjugative plasmids carrying antibiotic resistance genes from one microorganism to another, especially to the pathogenic bacteria. Multi-drug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis, an emerging serotype in poultry, has been spreading all around the world in a decade. Moreover, commensal microorganisms such as commensal Escherichia coli in the gut microbiota, functioning as a reser...
Development and analysis of controlled release polymeric rods containing vancomycin Tağıt, Oya; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biotechnology (2005) Antibiotic use is a vital method for the treatment of most diseases involving bacterial infections. Unfortunately, in certain cases these agents are not effective in treatments against diseases for either some limitation in antibiotic usage because of the side effects or some distribution problems caused by physiological or pathological barriers in the body. Such problems are thought to be minimized by development of controlled release systems which involve implantation of antibiotic loaded polymeric system...
AN ALTERNATIVE WAY FOR REDUCTION OF SALMONELLA IN POULTRY PRODUCTS: BACTERIOPHAGES Güzel, Mustafa; Soyer, Yeşim; Akçelik, Mustafa; Department of Biotechnology (2022-6-03) Antibiotic resistance of pathogenic microorganisms is a severe public health problem. One of the main reasons of the resistance is the overuse of antibiotics in veterinary and food animals. Non-typhoidal Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogen that causes millions of cases each year, worldwide. Although Salmonella causes outbreaks in almost all food commodities, it is mostly associated with poultry. In addition to high prevalence in poultry, Salmonella isolates recovered from poultry have shown multi drug ...
Characterization and genomic analysis of a novel bacteriophage against methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus Çotak, Medine; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Karahan, Zeynep Ceren; Department of Biotechnology (2019) Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most frequent hospital and community acquired infectious agents causing severe diseases. Bacteriophages may offer a solution to treat the bacterial infections that are not responding to classical antibiotics. In this context, a new lytic phage, named as vB_SauM-MikSA913, was isolated from sewage treatment center in Samsun (Turkey). MRSA clinical strains obtained from a local hospital were used as propagating hosts while searching for the lytic...
In vivo response to biodegradable controlled antibiotic release systems Korkusuz, F; Korkusuz, P; Eksioglu, F; Gursel, I; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2001-05-01) In this study, the major goal was to evaluate in vitro and in vivo findings by macroscopy, radiology, and histology to determine the effectiveness of therapy of experimental implant-related osteomyelitis with antibiotic carrier rods constructed of microbial polyesters. The polymers used were poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxyvalerate) [P(3HB-co-4-HB)] and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxy-valerate) [P(3-HB-co-3-HV)]. Both the Sulperazone(R) and the Duocid(R)-P(3-HB-co-4-HB) rods with a drug to polymer ra...
