Virulence-associated genes and drug susceptibility patterns of uropathogenic isolated from patients with urinary tract infection.

Different phylogenetic groups, such as A, B1, B2, and D, have four functional groups - adhesins, microcins, toxins, and capsules - which can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). A phylogenetic group with a high virulence content becomes a worldwide health concern. Resistance to antimicrobial agents increasingly complicates the management of extraintestinal infections, as a major source of illness, death, and increased health care costs.

Identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains isolated from burn patients by multiplex PCR.

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCoNS) as important human pathogens are causes of nosocomial infections worldwide. Burn patients are at a higher risk of local and systemic infections with these microorganisms.

Objective: A screening method for MRSA by using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), mecA, and nuc genes was developed.
