Impact of untreated hospital effluents on dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes
Kayalı, Osman; İçgen, Bülent; Department of Biotechnology (2019)
Hospital wastewaters (HWWs) were reported to be hotspots for antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, little is known about the impact of these effluents on the dissemination of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs). In this study, therefore, HWWs were monitored for 16S rRNA gene for overall bacterial genes and seven ARGs of aadA, tetA, cmlA, sul1, qnrS, ermB and blaCTX-M corresponding to commonly used antibiotics aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, amphenicols, sulfonamides, quinolones, macrolide-l...
Effect of cobalt-60 (gamma radiation) on multidrug-resistant multiple myeloma cell lines
Mutlu, Pelin; Ural, A. Ugur; Avcu, Ferit; Dirican, Bahar; Beyzadeoglu, Murat; Gündüz, Ufuk (2011-07-01)
Emergence of resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy is a major obstacle for the successful treatment of MM (multiple myeloma). Prednisone, vincristine and melphalan are commonly used chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of MM. In the current study, we examined the presence of possible cross-resistance between these drugs and gamma (gamma) radiation. Prednisone, vincristine and melphalan resistant RPMI-8226 and U-266 MM cells were generated by stepwise increasing concentrations of the drugs. The se...
Effect of UV treatment for the removal of sulfonamide resistance gene during wastewater treatment
Bulut, Taliye; İçgen, Bülent (2018-04-27)
The dissemination of the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is considered as one of the most important threats to public health. This dissemination also becomes a threat for water quality in surface waters and groundwater. Waters contaminated with ARGs can easily be incorporated into human life through several ways like drinking water, agriculture and animal husbandry. Sulfonamide resistance gene, one of the ARGs, in discharged waters increases gradually because the use of these drugs is highly common. Wast...
Impact of UV treatment for the removal of bacterial genes during wastewater treatment
Bulut, Taliye; İçgen, Bülent (null; 2018-06-23)
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are considered as important hotspots for the spread of the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The dissemination of ARGs is one of the most significant threat to public health. This also causes a danger for water quality in surface waters and groundwater. These waters can easily be included in human life by their use in places such as agriculture, livestock and drinking waters. The bacterial gene is important to analyze the quantity of the total bacterial load and to norm...
Effect of iron and molybdenum addition on photofermentative hydrogen production from olive mill wastewater
Eroglu, Ela; Gündüz, Ufuk; Yucel, Meral; Eroglu, Inci (2011-05-01)
Photofermentative hydrogen production from olive mill wastewater (OMW) by Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 was assessed under iron and molybdenum supplementation. Control cultures were only grown with 2% OMW containing media. The analysis included measurements of biomass accumulation, hydrogen production, pH variations of the medium, and changes in the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the wastewater. Growth under control and Mo-supplemented experiments yielded about the same amount of biomass (similar to 0.4 ...
