Distribution of K1and K2 serotypes of Klebsiellapneumoniae in water isolates in compare with clinical isolates
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
Serotypes of10 clinical isolates and 20 water isolates ofKlebsiellapneumoniaewere identified by detection of k2A and magA genes by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique.k2Agene was detected in 30% (3/10) of clinical isolates and not found in water isolates, while magA gene was detected in 60% (6/10) of clinical isolates and 15% (3/20)in water isolates. 20% of clinical isolates found to be having both magA and k2Agene. The results in the current study showed that clinical isolates distributed according to their serotypes in to four groups K1(magA positive), K2(k2A positive), K1/K2(magA& k2A positive) and non K1/K2(magA& k2A negative) serotypes, but K1 serotype was more prevalence than other serotypes, while water isolates distributed in to K1(magA positive) and non K1/K2(magA& k2A negative) serotypes, but non K1/K2 serotype was more prevalence than K1 serotype.
