Molecular detection of exoU and exoS among Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from Baghdad and Wasit, Iraq.

Abstract

The present study aimed to  Detection of exoU,exoS  genes Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in Baghdad  and Wasit,Iraq  . 150 samples of P. aeruginosa were collected and identified by biochemical tests, to identify the isolates of P. aeruginosa at the genus and species levels by means of primers targeting oprI and oprL genes.   and were characterized for antibiotic resistance. and the presence of exo genes was evaluated by allele-specific PCR (polymerase chain reaction). The exoU (60.31%), exoS (90.47%) genes were detected P. aeruginosa in different clinical specimens. Among 63 isolates of P.aeruginosa.
