Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Effects of Diborolane Containing Oxo/Amine Compounds on Clinically Important Bacteria and Candida Species(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Şahin,Y.; Çoban,E.P.; Özgener,H.; Bıyık,H.H.; Sevincek,R.; Aygün,M.; Gürbüz,B.A good yield of 1,2-diborolanderivatives 2-8 was obtained from the reaction of 1,2-dichloro-1,2-diborolane 1 and R2NLi/ArNHLi/PhOLi/H2O. The structures of these new derivatives were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 4 and 7a were also determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The antimicrobial activities of synthesized compounds were tested against clinically important Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, and Candida species. The most effective substances were found to be compounds 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 among the tested compounds. Therefore, the activity of these substances were investigated against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300 and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 51575, which form biofilms and have antibiotic resistance. Compound 2, 6 and 8 appears to be a promising candidate for potential antibacterial agents against these bacterial strains, especially given its potent activity against biofilm-forming and antibiotic resistant strains. The results indicate that these new materials will be evaluated as potential drugs against infectious diseases in the future. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Surface Microbiota and Associated Staphylococci of Houseflies (musca Domestica) Collected From Different Environmental Sources(Elsevier, 2022) Sudağıdan, Mert; Özalp, Veli Cengiz; Can, Özge; Eligül, Hakan; Yurt, Mediha Nur Zafer; Tasbasi, Behiye Busra; Acar, Elif Esma; Kavruk, Murat; Koçak, OnerHouseflies (Musca domestica) are important mechanical vectors for the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms. In this study, 129 houseflies (69 males and 60 females) were collected from 10 different environmental sources and a laboratory population was used. The surface microbiota of houseflies was identified by Next-Generation Sequencing. Staphylococci from the surfaces of houseflies were selectively isolated and their virulence genes, antibiotic susceptibilities, biofilm formation, and clonal relatedness were determined. Metagenomic analysis results demonstrated that Staphylococcus, Bacillus, and Enterococcus were mostly present on the surface of houseflies at the genus level. Additionally, the isolated 32 staphylococcal strains were identified as Staphylococcus sciuri (n = 11), S. saprophyticus (n = 9), S. arlettae (n = 6), S. xylosus (n = 4), S. epidermidis (n = 1) and S. gallinarum (n = 1). tetK, tetM, tetL, ermC, msrAB, and aad6 genes were found to carry by some of the staphylococcal strains. The strains were mostly resistant to oxacillin, penicillin, and erythromycin and three strains were multi-drug resistant. There was a statistical difference between housefly collection places and antibiotic resistance of isolated staphylococci to penicillin G, gentamicin, and erythromycin (p < 0.05). Biofilm test showed that 17 strains were strong biofilm formers, and it plays important role in the transmission of these bacteria on the surface of houseflies. Staphylococcal strains showed extracellular proteolytic and lipolytic activity in 31 and 12 strains, respectively. Closely related species were found in PFGE analysis from different environmental sources. By this study, surface microbiota and carriage of pathogenic staphylococci on the surfaces of houseflies and their virulence properties were elucidated.
