Molecular expression of blaCIT and blaFOX in Klebsiella spp. isolates from Al-Hussein teaching hospital in Al-Muthanna Province- Iraq

klebsiella is the most common pathogen responsible for acquired infections in the hospitals and because of the extensive ability to produce β-lactamases made this bacteria resistance to many antimicrobial agents.

description klebsiella is the most common pathogen responsible for acquired infections in the hospitals and because of the extensive ability to produce β-lactamases made this bacteria resistance to many antimicrobial agents. This study was done to determine Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates containing both blaFOX and blaCIT by multiplex polymerase chain reaction . Out of fifty one Klebsiella isolates , 31 (60.8%) K. pneumoniae isolates were resistant to cefoxitin by disk diffusion method . The production of molecular class C β-lactamase tested through modified three dimension method in all cefox resistance isolates and observed 14 (45.2%) isolates were producing for AmpC β-lactamase . The cefoxitin resistance isolates further screened by AmpC disk method and the result was 11 (35.5%)isolates were producing for AmpC β-lactamase . Multiplex PCR technique showed 8/31 (25.8%) K. pneumoniae isolates possess AmpC β- lactamase gene as well as this technique also revealed that FOX gene was exists in (37.5%) and CIT gene (62.5%)of the isolates .
