Abstract:

Background: Heavy metals enter the environment through industrial activities and contaminate natural ecosystems. Identification of heavy metal-resistant bacteria plays an important role in environmental pollution and ultimately cleansing it. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to isolate the resistant genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the effects of nanoparticles on gene expression using real-time PCR. Materials and Methods In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 60 isolates of P. aeruginosa were studied. Frequency of czr gene was determined by PCR. Also, the effects of iron nanoparticles on czr gene expression were evaluated by real-time PCR after RNA extraction. Results: In this study, 25 isolates were carriers of czr gene. Also, iron nanoparticles could reduce the expression of the heavy metal resistance gene in P. aeruginosa in vitro. Conclusion: This study showed that the resistance of different species of P. aeruginosa to the heavy metal cadmium is different.

Evaluation of the Effects of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles on Expression of TEM Type Beta-Lactamase Genes in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of surgical-site infections and healthcare-associated infections in the bloodstream, and urinary tract. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have shown, to possess antibacterial features. The nanoparticles' status as emerging therapeutic elements has motivated investigators to assess the effects of iron nanoparticles on the expression of TEM type be...

Isolation of TEM beta-lactamase gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Imipenem Effect on Expression of TEM Gene by Real-Time PCR from Burn Wound Samples

Background & Aim: Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains that were resistance to majority of commonly used antibiotics were caused problem in treatment of these infections. Imipenem is the excessive potential antibiotic for elimination of antibiotic resistance isolates of these bacteria. Aim of this study was, identification of imipenem effect on TEM beta-lactamase gene expression in resistant to antib...
