Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistance to rifampicin is mainly mediated through mutations in the rpoB gene. The effects of rpoB mutations are relieved by secondary mutations in rpoA or rpoC genes. This study aims to identify mutations in rpoB, rpoA, and rpoC genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates and clarify their contribution to rifampicin re...

Seventy-five Klebsiella pneumonia isolates were identified according to their cultural characteristics and by Vitek2 system. Both genomic and plasmid DNA of the isolates were extracted. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed for detection of SHV-1gene in the plasmid DNA and SHV-12 gene in the genomic DNA of the isolates. SHV-1 found in the p...
