Abstract EN
The present study aimed to identify two virulence genes in P.
aeruginosa isolated from infected burn wound.
Out of 70 burn swabs, 54 (77%) showed positive growth on enriched media which obtained from burn wound at Al-Mussan Teaching Hospital in Mussan province, Iraq.
Only 13 isolates (35%) identified as P.
aeruginosa, and those isolates examined using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for detection the exoS and phzS genes.
The results recorded that 46% and 77% of isolates have exoS, phzS genes, respectively.
We concluded a P.
aeruginosa harbor diverse percentages of both genes as virulence factors, and those factors must be increased the pathogenicity of this pathogen.
