This study is aimed to isolate P.aeruginosa from different clinical cases and to detect the prevalence of virulence genes encoding hemolytic phospholipase C(plcH)in these clinical isolates. In this study a total of 422 clinical samples including burn,wound,ear,urine,abscess and stool were aseptically taken from out- and inpatients who admitted into two hospitals in Hilla City (Teaching Al-Hilla Hospital and Babylon Hospital for Maternity and children during a period of three months. All samples were subjected to bacterial cultivation for the isolation of P.aeruginosa. The isolated P.aeruginosa was diagnosed depended on morphological,biochemical and molecular standard characteristics. Hemolytic phospholipase Cencoding genes(plcH) were detected by PCR and the amplification products were separated in 1% agarose gels containing ethidium bromide. Out of 422 samples,P.aeruginosa was isolated from 54 samples (12.8%). The distribution of these isolates were: 22 (55%) from burn samples,2; (50%) from diabitics foot samples,8 (14.8%) from wound samples, 8 (32%) from ear samples,3 (11%) from abscess samples, 7 (4%) from stool samples,4 (4%) from urine samples and 0 sputum samples. The genotypic properties of hemolytic phospholipase C (plcH )toxins was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results of this study revealed that(plcH )gene found in 13/20 (65%)of isolates. |
