Study of some virulence factors of Burkholderia pseudomallei isolated from Azadi Teaching Hospital in Kirkuk City. 2

Abstract

This study was conducted in order to identify virulence factors of the bacteria possessed by the bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallie, which isolated from lobbies and lounges Azadi Teaching Hospital, (200) sample were collected from lounges of operations (General surgeries - catheter operations - surgery (ENT) operations of eyes and women's obstetrics surgery) and lounges (internists – surgical – emergency – burns and women's) from the period of (December --2 014) to (April -2015), The isolated bacteria ratio (15.584%), Tested a number of virulence factor of Burkholderia pseudomallei, which been tested included ( β- Lactamase enzyme - Capsule – Gelatenase enzyme - protease enzyme – Leicithenase enzyme - Lipase enzym - adhesion factor - the presence of Pili - biofilm - decomposition of blood (Heamolysin) and The rate of bacterial isolates Burkholderia pseudomallei produced this factors(33.333- 100- 50- 41.666- 41.666-41.666-100-75-100-66.666%) respectively, The current study concluded that all the isolate at lest possess four virulence factor from the studied factors.
