چکیده

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 ddl genes) for identification of enterococci spp. results and conclusion: a total number of 712 enterococci spp. were isolated and the results showed that 56%, 24%, 12%, 4%, 2%, 1% and 1% isolates were e. faecium, e. hirae, e. faecalis, e. gallinarum, e. casseliflavus, e. mundtii and other enterococcal spp., respectively. the use of species-specific pcr was in agreement with the biochemical tests. furthermore, multiplex pcr was developed to study the presence of vancomycin resistant genes in e. faecium or e. faecalis. the multiplex pcr appeared to be a useful, rapid and specific method for detecting and discriminating genotypes for vancomycin-resistant enterococcus.

Detection and Distribution of various HLAR Gene in Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium by Multiplex-PCR

Background: In recent years, three new aminoglycoside resistance genes such as aph (3ʹ)-IIIa and ant (4ʹ)-Ia, that encode for the APH (3ʹ) and ANT (4ʹ) have also been identified. The aim of this study was to come up with a multiplex-PCR procedure for detection of aac(6ʹ)-Ie–aph(2ʹʹ)-Ia, aph(3ʹ)-IIIa, ant(4ʹ)-Ia genes in the Enterococcus spp. clinical isolates. Material and Method: 100 ...

Detection of Virulence Genes of Clostridium difficile in Children with Cancer by Multiplex PCR

Introduction: Toxigenic Clostridium difficile is the major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, colitis, and pseudomembranous colitis. The pathogenicity of C. difficile is related to toxins A&B. Children with cancer are at risk of developing C. difficile infection (CDI) due to increased exposure to antibiotics, immunosuppression, and longer hospital stays. Recently, due to higher sensitivity...

Prevalence of Tetracycline Resistance Genes tet (A, B, C, 39) in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Tehran, Iran by Multiplex PCR

Background and Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the three pathogens that has become a global disease control and treatment problem due to its resistance to common antibiotics. For this reason, it is crucial to study the genes that cause antibiotic resistance in it. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the phenotypic and genotypic frequency of tetracycline resistance in ...
