Abstract EN
Clinical isolates (95) collected from patients suffering different infections from teaching hospital in Baghdad Iraq.
These isolates cultured on specific media to grow Pseudomonas aeruginosa only .
The growed isolates (54) were diagnosed using classical methods and the API 20E followed by molecular detection using a housekeeping gene (rpsL).
Fifty four isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa tested against gentamicin.
These isolates were selected to determine resistance mediated by MexX efflux system using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) .
Out of 54 P.aeruginosa isolates, 48(88.8%) gave positive results for efflux system MexX (resistance and intermediate isolates), while sensitive isolates 6 (11.2 % ) have no MexX gene .
This may indicate the prevalence these type of resistance in the current isolated bacteria.
