Prevalence of blaoxa-1 and blashv Genes in E. coli Isolates from Hospitalized Patients in Rasht
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) are widely produced by Escherichia coli strains. The aim of this study was to determine frequency of blaOXA-1 and blaSHV genes in E.coli strains isolated from patients hospitalized in city of Rasht, Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, ...
متن کاملSimple and reliable multiplex PCR assay for surveillance isolates of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
Conditions have been optimized for the use of a multiplex PCR for the detection of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in nosocomial surveillance specimens. Seven primer sets targeting the genes vanA, vanB, vanC1, vanC2/C3 Enterococcus faecalis-specific, Enterococcus faecium-specific, and rrs (16S rRNA) were used in one reaction tube. The PCR method developed in the present study is simple and rel...
متن کاملDistribution of Enterococcal Species and Detection of Vancomycin Resistance Genes by Multiplex PCR in Tehran Sewage
Enterococci are important because of their role as the leading cause of nosocomial infections which have a significant role in the dissemination and persistence of antimicrobial resistance genes. Methods: In this study, we determined the distribution of enterococcal species in the sewage treatment plants in Iran. Furthermore, we improved a rapid and specific PCR method using primers (sodA and ...
متن کاملSimple and Rapid Detection of Yersinia Pestis and Francisella Tularensis using Multiplex-PCR
Background: Yersinia pestis and Francisella tularensis cause plague and tularemia, which are known as diseases of the newborn and elderly, respectively. Immunological and culture-based detection methods of these bacteria are time-consuming, costly, complicated and require advanced equipment. We aimed to design and synthesize a gene structure as positive control for molecular detection of these ...
متن کاملDetection of carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae by a commercial multiplex PCR.
A commercial multiplex PCR (hyplex SuperBug ID) was tested with a collection of 132 clinical Enterobacteriaceae strains producing different carbapenemases. The sensitivity for the detection of KPC-, VIM-, NDM-, and OXA-48-encoding genes was 100%, whereas two IMP variants were missed.
