Role of oqxA and oqxB Genes in the Development of Multidrug Resistant Phenotype among Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates from Various Cases
...Show More Authors

This study investigated the prevalence of oqxA and oqxB genes and their effective roles in the development of multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotype among clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Out of 150 clinical samples, 50 (33%) isolates were recognized as K. pneumoniae according to the morphological and biochemical properties. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) assay revealed that the resistance values of the isolates were 43 (86%) against ceftriaxone (4- ≥64 µg/ml), 42 (84%) against ceftazidime (16- ≥64 µg/ml), 41 (82%) against cefepime (≥16 µg/ml), 21 (42%) against ertapenem (≥8 µg/ml), 18 (36%) against imipenem (4- ≥16 µg/ml), 15 (30%) against ciprofloxacin (≥4 µg/ml), 11 (22%) against levofloxacin (≥8 µg/ml), 45 (90%) against nitrofurantoin (128- ≥512 µg/ml), 36 (72%) against trimethoprime-sulfamethoxazole (≥320 µg/ml), and 4 (8%) against tigecycline (≥8 µg/ml). Genotype detection revealed that oqxA was found in 48 (96%) of K. pneumoniae isolates, whereas oqxB was found in 6 (12%) isolates. The MDR phenotype was observed in 40 (80%) isolates, of which 38 (95%) were harbored oqxA and/or oqxB genes. DNA sequencing of oqxA revealed the presence of three silent mutations. The phylogenetic tree of oqxA variants showed a significant deviation of these variants from K. pneumoniae species. The high prevalence of oqxA among K. pneumoniae isolates may contribute to the reduction of their susceptibility to multiple antimicrobial agents.

...Show More Authors

Background: Since the periodontal disease Index of Ramfjord (Ramfjord index) can potentially shorten the examination time by almost half, many studies evaluated Ramfjord teeth in predicting full-mouth periodontal status of an adult population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of Ramfjord teeth in predicting the full-mouth clinical attachment level of an adult population in patients attending the college of dentistry- Baghdad University. Materials and methods: The study participants were 100 patients with age range from 30-60 years old which represent group zero. The patients were divided into three main groups according to the age of the patients. Group I and group II each of them composed of 30 patients while group III co
