قابلية جرثومة Proteus mirabilis المعزولة من مصادر مختلفة على الالتصاق بالخلايا الطلائية البولية

Abstract EN

Fourty-nine isolates of Proteus mirabilis (30 isolates from urinary tract infection , 9 isolates from dirrhoeal infection in children , 8 isolates from otitis media and 2 isolates from bacteriemia cases) were screened for their abilities to adhere on uroepithelial cells and tested their abilities to agglutinate with the R.B.Cs of human blood groups A+,B+,AB+ and O+ .

The study has confirmed the ability of this bacterium to adhere on uroepithelial cells,also the results of statistical analysis showed that is no any differences in the ability of bacterial isolates to adhere on uroepithelial cells even they isolated from different sources , also the results confirmed that this bacterium has mannose resistant pilli(MR\P),uroepithelial cells adhesin(UCA)and Proteus mirabilis fimbriae (PMF),all these results refer to the role of adherence in opportunistic pathogenecity of this bacterium and its ability to cause different infections.
