Genotype detection of kps gene of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from different clinical cases

Abstract

Forty isolates were obtained of Acinetobacter baumannii from (200) isolate, the isolates were collected from different cases including :- wounds, burns, Stool , Urinary tract infection urine, Respiratory tract infection and blood sample. The result revealed that the kps gene was present in (6) isolates (15%) of Acinetobacter baumannii. The result Showed (4) isolate (10%) of Stool has kps gene and (1) isolate (2.5%) of respiratory tract infection f has kps gene and finally only (1) isolate (2.5%) of Wound infection. While all isolated for each of the urinary tract infections, blood and Burns doesn't the kps gene. The gel electrophoresis showed that the molecular weight of kps gene was 272 bp
