Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most frequent cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections. The virulence factors help Klebsiella pneumoniae establish an infection in the human body by contributing to its ability to survive in a variety of environmental circumstances. 42 K. pneumoniae clinical specimens were isolated from diabetic patients suffering from urinary tract infection and diabetic foot ulcer in this study. K.pneumoniae virulence factors are currently being identified using phenotypic and genotypic approaches. The K. pneumoniae isolates that were positive for several virulence factors included 33 (78.6%) capsule, 17 (40%) hypermucoviscosity development, 14 (33.3%) proteases, and none were positive for hemolysis . K. pneumoniae isolates had a virulence gene that was 15% wcaG, 60% entB, and negative for rmpA.
从糖尿病患者中分离肺炎克雷伯菌的几种致病因子的表型和遗传学研究
肺炎克雷伯菌是医院和社区获得性感染的最常见原因。毒力因子帮助肺炎克雷伯菌在人体内建立感染,有助于其在各种环境条件下生存的能力。本研究从糖尿病尿路感染和糖尿病足溃疡患者中分离出42例肺炎克雷伯菌临床标本。目前正在使用表型和基因型方法确定肺炎克雷伯菌的毒力因子。肺炎克雷伯菌分离株的毒力因子包括胶囊33例(78.6%)、高粘滞性17例(40%)、蛋白酶14例(33.3%),溶血无一阳性。肺炎克雷伯菌分离株的毒力基因为15% wcaG, 60% entB, rmpA阴性。
