Identification of the Resistance Gene of Bacteria Isolated From Children with Respiratory Tract Infections

Abstract

Objective: The resistance gene for bacterial species isolated from juvenile respiratory tract infections was the goal of the current investigation. Methods: The pcr approach was utilized to detect the resistance gene of two bacterial strains from respiratory tract infections in pediatric patients at the Children's Hospital in Karbala. The current study's findings demonstrated that four of the six isolates of Klebsiella pneumonia and five of the ten isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibited the antibiotic Cephotaxime (CTX-M) resistance genes. Both two Klebsiella pneumonia isolates out of six and five Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates out of ten both exhibited the antibiotic Temocillin (TEM) resistance gene. Conclusion: According to the results of the current experiment, the isolates that caused respiratory tract infections in children had the gene for antibiotic resistance to temocillin (TEM) and cefotaxime (CTX-M).
