    Antibacterial activity of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite in infected root canal
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2004) Ercan, ER; Özekinci, T; Atakul, F; Gül, K
    In this study, the antibacterial activity of the different antibacterial solutions using as root canal irrigant was compared in the teeth with pulpal necrosis and with periapical pathosis. Thirty root canals of incisors and premolars of 20 patients were used. Before and after the root canal preparation, two canal samples were obtained by a harvesting method using a sterile paper point in the first appointment. During the biomechanical preparation, both irrigant solutions were used for each tooth which were randomly divided into two groups. Last samples were also obtained before the root filling procedure. Samples obtained from the root canals were subjected to microbiologic processing, including anaerobic incubation on trypticase soy agar for 5 to 7 days. After counting of CFU on the plates, we concluded that both chlorhexidine gluconate and sodium hypochlorite were significantly effective to reduce the microorganisms in the teeth with necrotic pulp, periapical pathologies, or both, and could be used successfully as an irrigant solution.

    The effects of magnesium, calcium and EDTA on slime production by Staphylococcus epidermidis strains
    (Springer, 2003) Akpolat, NÖ; Elçi, S; Atmaca, S; Akbayin, H; Gül, K
    Effect of magnesium, calcium and EDTA on slime production by 15 slime-positive and 13 slime-negative Staphylococcus epidermidis strains isolated from various clinical specimens was determined. The slime production on tryptic soy broth was significantly enhanced after addition of 128 mumol/L Mg2+. Similarly, the addition of Ca2+ caused a significant increase in slime production of all tested strains when concentration of Ca2+ exceeded 64 mumol/L. In contrast, in the presence of EDTA the slime production by all strains was significantly reduced. Hence Ca2+ and Mg2+ increase slime production of S. epidermidis. This finding is important in the context of the pathogenesis of biomedical implant infections caused by S. epidermidis.

    Effects of nimodipine and ofloxacin on staphylococcal brain abscesses in rats
    (Ecv-Editio Cantor Verlag Medizin Naturwissenschaften, 1997) Ceviz, A; Inalöz, SS; Çiçek, R; Sari, I; Gül, K; Sanli, A
    The therapeutic effects of nimodipine (GAS 66085-59-4) and ofloxacin (GAS 82419-36-1) were investigated against experimental brain abscess formation in rats. Nimodipine, a 1,4-dihydropyridine derivative, is chemically related to nifedipine but the smooth muscle relaxant effect preferentially acts on cerebral arteries. Ofloxacin is a member of 4-Quinolone broad spectrum antibiotics. Ninety-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were inoculated intracortically with Staphylococcus aureus and then different groups were treated with either saline. ofloxacin or the combination of ofloxacin and nimodipine. The rate of brain abscess formation and mortality were considerably decreased by nimodipine and ofloxacin therapy. Combination therapy was found histologically to be considerably more effective than ofloxacin alone against brain abscess formation in rats.

    Listeria monocytogenes in products of animal origin in turkey
    (Springer, 2004) Akpolat, NÖ; Elci, S; Atmaca, S; Gül, K
    A study was carried out on 430 samples of different foodstuffs (soft cheese, raw chicken, minced beef, sausage, fish) and 400 carcase samples (sheep, young and adult cattle) for screening of Listeria monocytogenes. It was found that only one of the samples contained L. monocytogenes at > 10(3) cfu/ml in the initial examination, but another 42 samples contained L monocytogenes following an enrichment process. L. monocytogenes was isolated most frequently from raw chicken samples (18%), but was not isolated from sausage samples. Forty-three isolates were defined as serotypes by using Bacto-Listeria-O-antisera Type 1 (Difco 2300-50-2) and Type 4 (Difco 2301-50-1) except that Type poly was not used. For these reasons, all isolates were classified as type 1 or type 4 and the other was termed untypeable. Twenty-one samples were type 1, 17 were untypeable, and 5 were both serotype 4 and untypeable.
