    Do mobile phones of patients, companions and visitors carry multidrug-resistant hospital pathogens?
    (Mosby-Elsevier, 2011) Tekerekoglu, Mehmet Sait; Duman, Yucel; Serindag, Ayfer; Cuglan, Serpil Semiha; Kaysadu, Halim; Tunc, Emine; Yakupogullari, Yusuf
    A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine bacterial colonization on the mobile phones (MPs) used by patients, patients' companions, visitors, and health care workers (HCWs). Significantly higher rates of pathogens (39.6% vs 20.6%, respectively; P = .02) were found in MPs of patients' (n = 48) versus the HCWs' (n = 12). There were also more multidrug pathogens in the patents' MPs including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella spp, high-level aminoglycoside-resistant Enterococcus spp, and carabepenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumanii. Our findings suggest that mobile phones of patients, patients' companions, and visitors represent higher risk for nosocomial pathogen colonization than those of HCWs. Specific infection control measures may be required for this threat.

    Synthesis and Evaluation of Novel Benzimidazole Conjugates Incorporating Amino Acids and Dipeptide Moieties
    (Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2017) Bugday, Nesrin; Kucukbay, F. Zehra; Apohan, Elif; Kucukbay, Hasan; Serindag, Ayfer; Yesilada, Ozfer
    Background: Amino acids, short peptide sequences and benzimidazole derivatives play an increasingly important role as therapeutics in areas including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic, antibiofilm, antidiabetic, and anticancer. Methods: Some novel amino acids and glycine-glycine dipeptide benzimidazole conjugates were synthesized by facile acylation reactions through DCC mediated reactions and their structures were identified by H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. In vitro antimicrobial activities of some compounds against Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacter faceium NJ-1) and Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and yeasts (Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis) were determined by MIC method. Their antioxidant activities were also detected by DPPH method. Results: Sixteen novel benzimidazole conjugates incorporating glycine, alanine, phenylalanine, cysteine and glycine-glycine dipeptide were synthesized and their structures were identified by spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. All of the compounds tested showed in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Conclusion: Sixteen novel benzimidazole amino acid/dipeptide conjugates were synthesized using DCC mediated one step reaction in moderate yield and high purity, under mild reaction conditions, with full retention of the original chirality. Amino acid or dipeptide substitutions at position 1 of the benzimidazoles were synthesized first time in this work. The results have indicated that the newly synthesized compounds possess low to moderate antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

    Synthesis, cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities of novel cobalt and zinc complexes of benzimidazole derivatives
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2017) Apohan, Elif; Yilmaz, Ulku; Yilmaz, Ozgur; Serindag, Ayfer; Kucukbay, Hasan; Yesilada, Ozfer; Baran, Yusuf
    In this study fourteen novel cobalt (II) or zinc (II) complexes of benzimidazoles were synthesized from the 1-(4-substitutedbenzyl)-1H-benzimidazoles and CoCl2.6H(2)O or ZnCl2. Cytotoxic activities of novel complexes were investigated against lung cancer cells (A549) and BEAS-2B. Three of the examined compounds (1, 4 and 5) showed high cytotoxic activity against A549. While the IC50 of the cisplatin was 2.56 pg/mL for A549 cells at 72 h, the IC50 values of compounds 1, 4 and 5 were 1.97, 1.87 and 1.9 mu g/mL, respectively. IC50 values of these compounds for BEAS-2B cells were higher than the IC50 values for A549. While the IC50 values for BEAS-2B cells were 59.8, 24.5 and 32.67 mu g/mL, respectively, the IC50 of the cisplatin was determined as 2.53 pgimL in the present work. Three of the compounds have also high antimicrobial activity against all the microorganisms used. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
