Objective: Aim: Klebsiella pneumonia has emerged as an increasingly important cause of community-acquired nosocomial infections and many of these strains are highly virulent and exhibit a strong propensity to spread. Infections cause by K. pneumonia produces carbapen¬emase (KPC) enzyme and can be difficult to treat since only a few antibiotics are...

Back ground: MRSA developed resistance to β-lactam antibiotics through the acquisition ofthe mecA gene that encodes penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a), which has a significantlyreduced affinity for β-lactam antibiotics, thereby conferring β- lactam resistance . The detectionof mecA by the (PCR) is considered a gold-standard technique for methici...

Entamoebahistolytica is a protozoan, an anaerobic intestinal parasite that causes about 50 million infections and a mortality rate of more than 100,000 worldwide. For diagnosis, two hundred samples of children with diarrhea signs were evaluated using staining and polymerase chain reaction techniques. The current study recorded 11 positive cases of...

The main cause of allele mismatch between children and their parents is the occurrence of mutations in the STR short tandem repeats technique, which will interrupt the forensic decisions in Paternity cases. Most of the mutations occur in STR known as single-step mutations, in this study a paternity case was reported done by processed by powerplex 1...

The distribution of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosomal mec (SCCmec) types I, II, III, IV and V was assessed in 137 methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA) isolates obtained from patients from different hospitals in Baghdad city. Each types responsible for certain virulence factors. It was found that 38 (27.73%) isolates of MRSA out of 137 contained...
