Detection of newly defined superantigenic toxin genes and coagulase gene polymorphism in Staphylococcus aureus isolates

The current study aims to use coagulase (coa) polymorphism gene to identify Staphylococcus aureus isolated from stool samples, evaluate the efficiency of these methods in discriminating variable strains, and compare these subtypes with antibiotypes. A total of 100 specimens were collected from patients in Babylon province, Iraq, between July 2016 and September 2016. Twenty S. …

Molecular detection and antimicrobial resistance of Clostridium perfringens isolated from diabetic patients and bullet wounds

Clostridium perfringens is a major cause of gas gangrene. The morbidity of C. perfringens is connected with producing toxins. This cross-sectional study was designed to isolate, genetically diagnose, and study the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of C. perfringens isolated from clinical samples. Different wound swabs (from diabetic patients, cellulitis, and bullet wounds) were taken from 140 …
