The College of Science at the University of Basrah organized a seminar entitled (Molecular study of bacterial associated with urinary tract infection in adult cancer patients) by the graduate student Aseel Ali Neemea
This study aims to:
1.Detect the more frequent bacterial agents that associated with UTIs in adult cancer patients by using Vitek2 system test identification and PCR technique.
2. Detect the pattern of antibiotic resistant by using the phenotype and genotype methods.
and included The study was designed to identify bacteria that cause urinary tract infections, and E.coli was one of the most isolated bacterial species (73.3%). E.coli was highly resistant to antibiotics, and all E.coli isolates had a high defense against third generation cephalosporins by producing extended spectrum B-lactamase (ESBLs). E.coli can also produce carbapenemase enzymes that are effective against fourth generation antibiotics such as meropenem and ipenem.
and the study was recommended
1. Adoption of the use of polymerase chain reaction in the investigation and diagnosis the pathogenic bacteria that produce extended spectrum β-lactamases enzymes (ESBLs) and carbapenemase enzymes in hospitals of Iraq in general and Basrah province in particular.
2.Additional studies are needed to investigate other bacterial species producer extended spectrum β-lactamases enzymes, carbapenemase enzymes and develop a database of the most frequent types of bacteria producing extended spectrum β-lactamases in Iraq.
3.Additional studies are needed to determine the different types of extended spectrum βlactamases enzymes, carbapenemase enzymes in pathogens frequently isolated in Iraqi patients.
