[In vitro susceptibility to cefoperazone and sulbactam/cefoperazone combination of bacterial strains isolated from various patient materials]. / Cesitli hastalik materyallerinden izole edilen bakteri suslarinin sefoperazon ve sulbaktam/sefoperazon kombinasyonuna karsi duyarliliklarinin in-vitro arastirilmasi.

Susceptibility of 110 bacterial strains isolated from clinical materials to Cefoperazone (CPZ) and Sulbactam/Cefoperazone (SBT/CPZ) combination was investigated and every strain was examined for beta-lactamase activity. Total beta-lactamase positivity rate was 40.9%. Antibacterial activity of SBT/CPZ combination was found to be higher than CPZ alone, especially on beta-lactamase producing bacteria.

[A case of chronic actinomycosis in a carcinomatous lesion]. / Karsinomatöz zeminde yerlesmis bir aktinamikoz olgusu.

A gram positive, catalase-positive Actinomyces viscosus strain has been isolated from cervicofascial carcinomatous lesion. Identification of this human strain of Actinomyces viscosus was carried out with biochemical tests. Tests for catalase, indole, nitrate reduction, methyl red reaction acetoin (VP) and gelatin hydrolysis were done by the procedure recommended by the technique described by Grencser and Slack. Carbohydrate fermentation tests were done with three basal media: Actinomyces fermentation broth, a thioglycolate fermentation base and a brain-heart infusion broth.
