[ 1 ] - Evaluation of the prevalence of broad-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenemase genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from burn wounds in patients referred to Shahid Motahari Hospital in Tehran

Background: Klebsiella species are common causes of nosocomial, ulcers, blood and urinary tract infections, and also acquired pneumonia from the hospital and various intra-abdominal infections. Bacterial resistance mechanisms against antibiotics are different, but one of these resistance mechanisms, which is very problematic, is the production of β-lactamase enzymes in bacteria. The aim of this...

[ 2 ] - Prevalence of flmA, flmH, mrkA, ecpA, and mrkD virulence genes affecting biofilm formation in clinical isolates of K. pneumonia

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic microorganism causing nosocomial infection all over the world .This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of biofilm formation in K. pneumoniae isolated from patients and its correlation with the virulence factors. Materials and Methods: Biochemical tests were used for the identification of K. pneumonia isolated from patients referred to...
