PapA track adhesion genes in bacteria E. coli isolated from patients with urinary tract infection in a hospital in Tehran

E.coli bacteria along with its pathogenic factors is the most prevalent causes of urinal tracts infection. This paper aims to designate epidemic rate of gene papA in strains isolated from the patients afflicted with urinal infection. 104 isolates have been obtained from urine samples of the patients from urinal infection. Study of epidemic rate of the three mentioned genes belonging to PAP gene group was conducted through PCR method. After that, relationship of abundance rate of this gene with other demographic specifications of patients had been statistically examined. The results showed that percentage of abundance of under-study gene of papA was equal to 40.38%. Besides, the gene identified in strains isolated from patients with factors like upper age of 50 years and urinal infection symptoms proved meaningful difference (pvalue>0.05) and showed no meaningful relationship with other specifications like background diseases, all types of surgery record and….The results of this research can help improve prevention and treatment of patients.
