Molecular Diagnosis of Endosymbiont in -Positive Samples in Laboratory Conditions and in the Hospital Environments.

Background: We aimed to identity endosymbiont in -positive samples in natural and laboratory conditions.

Methods: Overall, 134 samples were collected from hospital environments. Microscopic and PCR test were used for detection of and The real-time PCR method was used to check the active presence of within under natural conditions from hospital samples and in co-culture laboratory conditions.

Results: The rate of contamination of hospital samples with was 44.7%. Out of 42 PCR-positive samples, 13 isolates (31%) were positive in terms of endosymbiont according to sampling location. is able to penetrate and enter the parasite.

Conclusion: is able to contaminate in natural and laboratory conditions. The presence of pathogenic in various hospital environments and the hiding of as an endosymbiont inside it can pose a serious threat to the health of hospitalized patients.
