Staphylococcus aureus
and Enterococcus faecalis were isolated as Gram positive causative
agent of UTIs from urine samples of type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. Phenotyping
detection of virulence factors β- hemolysin, biofilm and β-Lactamase was done
followed by molecular detection of these factors by PCR using the
primers hlB, cyl A, esp and blaZ.
β-hemolysin was highest virulence
factors it was produced by all Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus
faecalis isolates which isolated from both type 1 and type 2 diabetic
patients separately. All Enterococcus faecalis isolates which
isolated from both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients separately were produced
of biofilm, while Staphylococcus aureus isolates which isolated from
both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients were produced of biofilm with a rate
of 40% and 57% respectively. All Staphylococcus aureus isolates which
isolated from both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients separately were produced
β-Lactamase, while Enterococcus faecalis isolates which isolated
from both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients were not produced of β-Lactamase.
The hlb gene was appeared
in all Staphylococcus aureus which isolated from both type 1 and type 2
diabetic patients separately. The cyl A and esp genes were appeared
in all Enterococcus faecalis which isolated from both type 1 and
type 2 diabetic patients separately. The lowest appearance of genes was for blaZ
gene which was in 60% of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from type 1
diabetic patients, and in 71.4% of isolates which isolated from patients with
type 2 diabetes.
