Abstract:

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of Hospital-acquired infection worldwide. A major problem in the treatment of bacterial infections is the emergence of strains with multiple resistances (MDR). The aim of this study was to identify virulence genes lasB, toxA, algD, exos in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from human and animal by Multiplex-PCR method and determination of antibiotic resistance. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on the 120 non-repetitive samples, including, 60 clinical samples of human and 60 animal samples collected from Tehran, Iran. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by disk diffusion test. The multiplex - PCR method was performed to identify virulence genes. Results: lasB and exoA genes were the most prevalent virulence determinants in the human and animals samples, respectively. The highest resistance rate was related to amoxicillin and amikacin in the both types of samples. Conclusion: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an emerging threat to the production of antibiotic resistance genes and create strains of multidrug-resistant (MDR), serious problem growing that it is necessary to control emissions and to replace the antibiotics forever to reduce the prevalence of these genes, necessarily antibiotics new and appropriately.

Evaluation of Carbapenemase and Integron Resistance Genes in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated from Clinical Samples and Determination of Antibiotic Resistance Pattern by Laboratory Method

Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important bacteria causing nosocomial infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. Many antibiotics such as aminoglycosides, quinolones, and beta-lactams are used to treat infections caused by this bacterium. But the emergence of hospital resistance and outbreaks of resistance strains have been widely reported. The aim of this stu...

Antibiotic resistance profiles of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates containing virulence genes

Background: A most common opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is present in both humans and animals and responsible for various nosocomial infections and healthcare settings related infections. Different virulence genes like; oprL (membrane lipoprotein L) and toxA (exotoxin A i.e. ETA) in P. aeruginosa, assist in its pathogenicity, toxicity and contribute to high antibiotic resistanc...

Characterization of Salmonellae isolated from different animal and human sources by PCR and resistance trends

Salmonella is one of the most important zoonotic pathogens with many virulence factors playing a major role in its pathogenesis. The aims of this study were to detect spvA, int2 and invC virulence genes of different Salmonella serotypes isolated from various clinical animal and human sources, and to investigate antibiotic resistance patterns among these serotypes. Using a PCR assay, a total of ...

Identification of clinically antibiotic resistant genes Aac(3)-IIa and Aac(6’)-Ib in wastewater samples by multiplex PCR

Background: Aminoglycoside antibiotics are widely used in medical centers, particularly to treat infections. The resistance developed against these agents is a huge concern in health care. A number of researchers have reported that hospital and municipal wastewaters are among the most important dissemination sources of these agent into the environment. Some, however, do not agree with this opin...

Molecular identification of Salmonella Infantis isolated from backyard chickens and detection of their resistance genes by PCR

This study aims at molecular identification of Salmonella Infantis isolated from backyard chickens and the detection of their antibiotic resistance genes. A total of 46 Salmonella-suspected samples isolated from backyard chickens of northern Iran were collected. Serotyping was done by the traditional method and then confirmed by PCR. Antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates against 13 antim...
