Detection of Efflux Pumps Genes in Pseudomonasaeruginosa Isolates Isolated from Open Fracture Infections

Abstract

AbstractThe presence of Effluxpumpsgenes (MexR, MexB, MexA) and (MexZ,MexY, MexX) was investigated in 24 antibiotic resisting isolates of Paeruginosa, isolated from open fracture infections using PCR technique. The results showed 100% presence of (MexR, MexB, MexA) and (MexZ,MexY) genes in all tested isolates while the MexX gene was present in only 7 isolates representing 29.2%.
