Identification of Capsular Serotypes K1 and K2 in Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella Pneumoniae in North of Iran
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important nosocomial pathogens. Its capsular polysaccharide is considered as the first and most important virulence factor of this bacterium. This study aimed to investigate the presence of capsular serotypes K1 and K2 in K. pneumoniae isolates to examine the virulence ...
متن کاملMOLECULAR TYPING AND INVESTIGATING THE PRESENCE OF EFFLUX GENES IN URINARY ISOLATES OF KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE
Background & Aims: The efflux pumps play an important role in the development of drug resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibiotic resistance, and the presence of efflux genes, as well as molecular typing in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae.

متن کاملInvestigation of the Relationship between Antibiotic Resistance and Biofilm Production in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Hamadan Hospitals, Iran
Background and Objective: The role of biofilm formation by bacteria has been considered as an important stage in the pathogenesis of Klebsiella pneumoniae. This pathogen is one of the most important opportunistic pathogen agents of nosocomial infections, such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, invasive infections, and surgical site infections. This study aimed to investigate the biofilm pr...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Carbapenemase Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Isolated from Clinical Urine Specimens in University Teaching Hospitals, Iran
Background and Aims: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram negative opportunistic pathogen of nosocomial infections that causes pneumonia, urinary tract infection (UTI), meningitis, septicemia and diarrhea. The emergence and spread of carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae often cause failure in the treatment of infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of carbapenemase ...
متن کاملDetection of magA Gene in Klebsiella spp. Isolated from Clinical Samples
Objective(s): Klebsiella infections are caused mainly by K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca. In the last two decades, a new type of invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae which contains mucoviscosity-associated gene (magA) has emerged. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of magA gene and to detect antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Klebsiella spp. isolated from clinical samples....
