Here, we present a protocol for evaluating the synergistic activity of fosfomycin in combination with ceftriaxone, meropenem, and gentamicin against carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli isolates using the agar dilution method. Synergy was observed with meropenem and gentamicin, but not with ceftriaxone.

Protocol for Agar Dilution Checkerboard Analysis of Fosfomycin-Based Antibiotic Combinations Against Carbapenem-Resistant Escherichia coli

Due to the limited treatment options for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, combination therapy regimens have gained increasing importance. This study ...

This retrospective study analyzed HBsAg, anti-HCV, and anti-HIV seropositivity in 6607 orthopedic patients at Dicle University (2021-2025) with seropositivity rates at 2.75%, 0.27%, and 0.09%, respectively. HBsAg positivity was higher in males and older patients. Regional sero-epidemiological data are important for infection control and healthcare worker protection in surgical settings.
