Objective: The choice of a residency program is one milestone in the professional life of a medical doctor. Residents may be affected by many factors while choosing a specialty, and if some of these factors come true during the residency period, job satisfaction (JS) can be high. We aimed to improve our understanding of the factors affecting the selection of specialties by medical doctors, JS of residents, and factors affecting the JS. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in a university hospital with 932 beds and 240 residents. Data were collected by a questionnaire consisting of 39 questions to achieve information about demographic characteristics and the factors affecting the preferences of the residents. Participants were also asked to answer the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire to obtain their JS scores. Results: JS of the residents was high in 69.7% (n=108) of participants. Residents who have chosen their current specialty from within the first three options according to their rank in specialty exam had higher JS (p=0.023). The top factors affecting the residents’ preference were an inclination towards the specialty and compliance with personal characteristics. The most crucial factor for choosing a surgical specialty was “an inclination towards the specialty” while “compliance with personal characteristics” was the most crucial factor for choosing non-surgical specialties. The factors that affect Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (IDCM) residents’ preference were the quality of the education, the inclination for the specialty, compliance with personal characteristics and career opportunities. JS of IDCM residents was very high (%100). For all residents, the inclination for the specialty was more critical than expected economic income (p<0.001). Conclusion: Inclination towards the specialty is the primary determinant for the preference of specialty among medical doctors. The educational quality of the residency program and career opportunities are also important.

We described clinical course and outcome of a patient with Listeria monocytogenes meningitis and rhombencephalitis (RE). A 65-year-old woman with past medical history of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cervical cancer applied to emergency room with the history of fever and headache for three days. Clinical course indicating meningitis evolved to RE over time. We present this case because of the significance of early diagnosis and adequate antimicrobial therapy targeted to the pathogen. At the end, we suggested an algorithm for the case management.

Objective: In the identification of Dientamobea fragilis, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is by far more sensitive than microscopic examination of permanent-stained smears, while it is faster and less labour-intensive than culture; however, it is expensive. We aimed to assess the sensitivity of culture and compare the efficacies of three culture media: Robinson’s medium (RM), Dobell’s medium (DM) and Talis’s Medium (TM), for the identification of D. fragilis. Materials and Methods: Stool samples of 104 individuals admitted to Manisa Celal Bayar University Hospital with complaints such as abdominal pain, itching, meteorism and diarrhea, and no detection of D. fragilis in the initial examination of trichrome-stained smears of their stools, were cultivated in RM, DM and TM on the same day. Results: Trophozoites of D. fragilis were detected in 11 of 104 (10.6%) samples, where all were positive in RM, while 3 and 4 of 11 were also positive in DM and TM, respectively. Two samples were found to be positive in all three media. RM was by far the leading medium to supply vast numbers of trophozoites. Conclusion: These results indicate that culture is more effective than microscopic examination of permanent stained smears of stools to identify D. fragilis when PCR is not available, and RM could be the first choice for culture as it supplies huge amounts of trophozoites useful for further molecular studies.

A 38-year-old man presented to the hospital with complaints of fever and multiple lesions on his face, hands, and arms. The lesions were appeared five days earlier before admission as painless small papules and developed into larger lesions with the darkish center. He was experiencing a fever for the last 24 hours. He was a farmer, he sacrificed and butchered a bull at the Eid al-Adha, ten days ago. He reported that he was healthy previously and did not use any drug. On physical examination, his body temperature was 39°C. He had multiple lesions on arms, hands, face and erythematous diffuse edema on his right hand, on 4th finger extending to the arm. There were some satellite lesions on the left arm (Figure1, 2), as well. He had a red lymphangitic streak on the right arm that extended from the hands toward the axillae with a palpable and tender axillary lymph node 2 cm in diameter. Laboratory examination revealed white blood count 11600 cells/μL with left shift, and C-reactive protein 85 mg/ dL (N: 0-5). Aspiration material was obtained from the lesion on the 4th finger, stained with Gram stain and cultured.

Objective: Giardiasis is a common disease, and clinical forms can vary based on the assemblage types of the parasite. Detailed information on the subgenotypes may indicate the transmission routes and enlighten the gaps in the epidemiology of the disease. This study aims to reveal the occurrence of giardiasis in Thrace, Turkey, and assemblage types of Giardia duodenalis. Materials and Methods: In total, 573 stool samples taken from the individuals applied to Tekirdağ Central State Hospital in 2009, were examined by wet-mount and zinc sulfate floatation methods. Giardia-positive 26 samples and 64 samples taken from the individuals with gastrointestinal complaints were analyzed by nested PCR-RFLP to differentiate the assemblage types. Sequence analysis was employed for confirmation of assemblage types and subgenotypes. Results: Giardia spp. cysts were detected in 3.66% and 4.54% of the samples with wetmount and zinc sulphate floatation techniques respectively. A total of 27 samples were found positive by nested PCR-RFLP out of 90 samples. Fifteen samples were determined as assemblage A, 2 and 10 samples as B and B/E mix respectively. Sequence analysis showed that the latter assemblage (B/E mix) as A3-B3 mix. Conclusion: Fast identification techniques, namely zinc sulphate flotation can be used for screening stool samples in order to determine Giardia cysts with considerably high sensitivity and specificity. Based on this method, the occurrence rate of giardiasis was found as 4.54% in the studied group. DNA sequencing is necessary to distinguish assemblages and confirm the results of PCR-RFLP.

T he discovery of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR) and CRISPR-Associated System (Cas) have led to revolutionary advancements in almost every field of biology. The CRISPR-Cas system is part of an adaptive immune system in bacteria, and this system protects the organism from invading genetic elements of bacteriophages and plasmids. In this article, the discovery of the CRISPR-Cas system, its mechanism of action, and particularly its use in infectious diseases will be discussed.
