Genetic Identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence Genes among Different Isolates
Author(s): Mona A Khattab, Mona S Nour and Nadia M ElSheshtawyMona A Khattab, Mona S Nour and Nadia M ElSheshtawy
Background and objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses a variety of virulence factors that may contribute to its pathogenicity. P. aeruginosa also has a large number of virulence factors such as exotoxin A, exoenzyme S, nan 1 and Las genes. The aim of this study was to evaluate oprI, oprL as reliable factors for rapid identification of P. aeruginosa and to detect toxA, exo S, nan1 and LasB genes by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Materials and methods: In this study 30 isolates of P. aeruginosa were recovered from burn, pulmonary tract and blood infections. Results and conclusions: The oprI and oprL genes were detected in all of 30 P. aeruginosa isolates collected. The presence of toxA gene in isolates from burn and pulmonary tract was significantly higher than that from blood. All tested isolates.. View More»
