molecular diagnosis and characterization of bacillus subtilis isolated from burn wound in iran
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: bacillus subtilis refers to stretched and sometimes curved, gram-positive, aerobic, and catalase-positive bacilli, which has thermo-resistant endospores. it has been known as a normal flora in the human but can be pathogens in the case of opportunistic. also, it can be the pathogen of nosocomial infections such as wound among hospitalized patients. purpose of this study was to identify the type of nosocomial infections in a burn patient suffering from wound infections and septicemia. materials and methods: in november 2012, sampling was made from the burn wound of a 26-year-old woman infected with septicemia using a sterile swab. the wound sample was cultured on a blood agar medium. various routine biochemical tests were performed for species detection and identification. eventually, pcr was used to increase the reliability and accuracy in the identification of the isolated bacterium. the pcr product was then sequenced.results: according to the results of different biochemical tests and molecular identification, the bacteria separated from b. subtilis wound were reported. the mentioned gene was recorded under access number ab894357 in the gene bank. conclusion: according to the conducted studies, although b. subtilis is known as a commensal bacterium, it can be considered a pathogen of nosocomial infection, which subsequently causes secondary infections. considering that b. subtilis is known as a nonpathogenic bacterium, it is recommended to pay more attention to its diagnosis and treatment as an opportunistic pathogen among hospitalized patients.

متن کاملMolecular Detection of Lipase A gene in Putative Bacillus subtilis Strains Isolated from Soil
The present study was undertaken to screen the soil samples collected in Iran for the presence of the Bacillus subtilis lipase A gene. The bacterial colonies obtained from the collected soil samples were examined by physical appearance, biochemical tests and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Only four colonies were identified as putative B. subtilis strains and all contained the lipase A ge...

molecular and catalytic characterization of acidophilic xylanase bacillus subtilis k40b
bacillus subtilis k40b was isolated from rice rhizospheres and its potential for production of xylanase was evaluated using biochemical methods. the gene for xylanase in b. subtilis k40b was amplified, sequenced and assigned to the ncbi genebank. the gene size was estimated to be 563 bp encoding 413 amino acids. comparison of the xylanase gene with reference sequences showed that the xylanase o...
