Molecular study of blaVEB-1 gene in Proteus mirabilis isolated from clinicalSamples from Baghdad City’s hospitals
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 5
Abstract
From different hospitals in Baghdad city, 25 clinical isolates of Proteus spp. were collected from different clinical samples, all isolates were identified as Proteus mirabilis by using bacteriological and biochemical assays in addition to Vitek-2 identification system. 15 (60%) isolates were identifying as Proteus mirabilis. The susceptibility of P. mirabilis isolates towards cefotaxime and ceftazidime was (66.6 %), (20%) consecutively; while extended spectrum β-lactamases producing P. mirabilis percentage was (30.7 %). Because blaVEB-1 was documented as an important indicator for increasing risk of extended spectrum beta ßlactamases producing P. mirabilis isolates that began to spread from many geographic area to Far east which increase the possibility of its occurrence in the middle east; blaVEB-1 gene was detected by using multiplex polymerase chain reaction technique (PCR) that followed extracted DNA from 5 isolates of P. mirabilis. Results showed the presence of this gene in all tested isolates. Sequencing of DNA nucleotides was preformed by automated sequencer (Macrogen/ Korea) which showed that 3 isolates of P. mirabilis have blaVEB-1 gene. In order to indicate the blaVEB-1 gene was harbor on plasmid or chromosomal DNA, curing of plasmid DNA was carried out by using Ultraviolet rays (230 A°) for 20 min. the results confirmed that the blaVEB-1 gene in local isolates of P. mirabilis was found on plasmid DNA.
