particular distribution of enterobacter cloacae strains isolated from urinary tract infection within clonal complexes
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: based on biochemical properties, enterobacter cloacae represents a large complex of at least 13 variant species, subspecies, and genotypes that progressively identified as the most species causing hospital-acquired infections. the aim of this study was to determine the relevance between phylogenetically related strains within the e. cloacae complex and the frequency of urinary tract infection caused by them. methods: a 268-bp fragment was obtained from hsp60 gene for 50 clinical e. cloacae isolates from urine cultures of inpatients that admitted to six hospitals in tehran, iran during december 2012 to november 2013. the 107 nucleotide sequences were analyzed and the evolutionary distances of sequences were computed and neighbor-joining tree was calculated. results: it showed that all of the genetic clusters have not an equal involvement in pathogenesis of urinary tract infections. three superior clusters were found, together representing more than two third (80%) of the isolates (cluster vi with 25 members clusters iii and viii with 9 and 6 members, respectively) and some genetic clusters were absent (iv, x, xii, and xiii), some of which are supposed to be associated with plants and no human infection has been reported. conclusions: this study, for the first time, reports the unequal contribution of e. cloacae complex subspecies and clusters in urinary tract infections in iran and together with studies from other countries suggest that the subspecies of e.hormaechei subsp. oharae is the most prevalent e. cloacae complex subspecies regardless of country under study.

متن کاملSpecific distribution within the Enterobacter cloacae complex of strains isolated from infected orthopedic implants.
Bacteria belonging to the Enterobacter genus are frequently isolated from clinical samples but are unusual causative agents of orthopedic implant infections. Twelve genetic clusters (clusters I to XII) and one sequence crowd (sequence crowd xiii) can be distinguished within the Enterobacter cloacae nomenspecies on the basis of hsp60 sequence analysis, and until now, none of these clusters could...
متن کاملClonal distribution of multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae.
A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme including 7 housekeeping genes was used to evaluate whether the current spread of multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae isolates worldwide might be associated to specific successful clones. Fifty E. cloacae clinical isolates of worldwide origin, with various β-lactamase content, and recovered at different periods of time were studied. Forty-four seq...
متن کاملGenotypic Investigation of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection
Background and purpose: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have recently emerged as major causes of urinary tract infection (UTI). The aims of this study were to determine antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus isolated from UTI and to detect the presence of mecA (causing resistance to methicillin) and SCCmec types. Materials and methods: In this cross sectional study, 44 S. au...
متن کاملThe Detection of Fimbrial Pathogenic Genes in E. coli Strains Isolated from Patients with Urinary Tract Infection
Abstract Bachground and objectives: The ability of adherence to the surface of host cell is very critical in the colonization of microbial pathogens. It has been revealed that E. coli strains that infect urinary tracts have different fimbrea such as I, S, FIC, Dr, and fimbrial adhesions. Material and Methods: In this study, 363 urine samples were obtained from patients with urinary tract infect...
