Abstract

Background: Galectin-3 is a category of ?- galactoside binding Lectin. It has been involved in renalinflammation and fibrosis. We examined the relationship between galectin-3 level and nephropathy in T2DMpatients with or without microalbuminuria in comparison healthy controls.Methods: Ninety T2DM patients they were graded as (3 groups) depending on (ACR) albumin to creatininevalue: normalbuminuria (ACR < 30 mg / g), micro albuminuria (ACR 30-300 mg / g); and macroalbuminuria(ACR > 300 mg / g). In addition, 30 healthy control subject. The serum galectin-3 was determined by anenzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) for 90 T2DM patients and 30 healthy subjects. And alsobiochemical parameters measured included FBG, HbA1c, urea, creatinine, and uric acid.Result: Serum galectin-3 was significantly raised in T2DM patients with macroalbuminuria in comparing tohealthy group and also to other patients groups (p<0.001). Galectin-3 level was positively related with eachof ACR, FBS, HbA1c, urea, creatinine. whilst, eGFR was negatively correlated with galectin-3Conclusion: Galectin-3 level is essentially higher with T2DM at all stages of DN, particularly inmacroalbuminuria patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Escherichia coli is among major nosocomial pathogens causing urinary tract infections(UTIs). The emergence of carbapenem- resistant strains is a major concern regarding the UTI treatment. Thesubjective of this study included assessment of genetic relation and screening of virulence factors amongcarbapenemase producing E. coli from UTI.Materials and methods: Three-Hundred E. coli isolates were enrolled. Antibiotic susceptibility test wasconducted by disk diffusion as provided by clinical and laboratory standards institute (CLSI). Carbapenemaseproduction and presence of bla OXA-48, bla KPC, bla NDM, bla VIM and bla IMP genes were evaluated by PCRtechnique. Virulence factors genes were also screened by PCR technique. Genetic relation of isolates wasimplemented using phylogrouping and serogrouping.Results: Of 300 isolates, 11 (3.66%) of them were resistant to carbapenems (CR-E. coli). Imipenemminimum inhibitory concentration ranged 4-128µg/ml. The bla OXA-48 and blaIMP genes were co-existed inthree (1%) isolates (imipenem MIC: 64-128µg/ml), but the bla KPC, bla NDM and bla VIM were not amplified.Predominant virulence genes included iutA (n=293, 97.66%), fyuA (n=256, 85.33%), inh (n=249, 83%), traT(n=247, 82.33%), pap? (n=96, 32%), fimH (n=93, 31%), csgA (n=92, 30.66%). All the CR-E. coli containedthe iutA, fyuA, traT, papII, fimH and csgA genes. O1 (32%), O16 (15%) and O25 (7%) serogroups werepredominant and 6/11, 4/11 and 1/11 of CR-E. coli belonged to O1, O25 and O75 serogroups, respectively.Among eleven CR-E. coli isolates, nine of them were belonged to the B2 phylogroup and two isolates werebelonged to B1 phylogroup.Conclusion: CR-E. coli contained the blaIMP and blaOXA-48 genes and predominantly O1 serogroup. Highrate of virulence factors among CR-E. coli from UTI is a concern in Baghdad hospitals. The spread ofisolates with resistance to last-line antibiotics must be controlled.

Abstract

Burn wound infections are regarded as one of the serious complications occurs in the acute period afterinjury and leads to high morbidity and mortality. Pseudomonas aeruginosa plays a prominent role as anetiological agent involved in serious infections of burn and wounds.During this study, a total of (52) samples were taken from patients suffering from burn wound infectionsin (2) hospital in Baghdad from 1/9/2019 to 1/12/2019 for isolation of pseudomonas aeruginosa. Resultsreveals that (31) isolate (59.6%) were gave typical morphological characteristics and biochemical test thatrelated to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Five Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were subject to antimicrobialsusceptibility test that was done according to NCCLS. Results of Antibiotic susceptibility test for pseudomonasaeruginosa isolates reveals that 100% of them were sensitive to ciprofloxacin and Norfloxacin while 100%of the isolates were resistant to ampicillin ,cefixime ,Erythromycin, Naldixic acid , chloramphenicol andbacitracin.Mutagenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PS1 isolate by UV irradiation was done for (60,120,240,300 ) Sec.Results of mutation to ( PS1) isolate revealed that exposure to UV irradiation from (60-300) Sec leads to decreasein the viability of bacterial cells but increase in the sensitivity of PS1 isolate to ciprofloxacin,gentamycine,Norfloxacin and oxytetracycline that reach to (40,21,26,30 )mm zone of inhibition respectively . Thesame isolate revealed changes in results from resistant to sensitive to chloromphenicol ,Erythromycin andNaldixic acid that reach to (33,31,33)mm zone of inhibition respectively but its gave the same results for theantibiotics (Ampicillin,Bacitracin and cefixime).
