RESUMO
AIM: Chromosomal ivyC and plasmid pliC lysozyme inhibitor genes frequency of occurrence detection in klebsiella strains of various origins. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 129 strains were studied including K. pneumoniae (n= 115) and K. oxytoca (n=14). Klebsiella strains were divided into 2 groups: group 1 - 62 strains (39 isolated in Kazan and 23 strains isolated from children with klebsiella infection in Moscow). Kazan strains were presented by isolates from young children receiving in-patient treatment regarding klebsiella (n=8), respiratory (n= 17), rotavirus (n=5) and purulent-inflammation infection ofnewborns (n=9). Group 2 (n=67) was composed of strains isolated from children that had received outpatient treatment regarding intestine dysbacteriosis in Kazan (n=37) and Moscow (n=30). ivyC and pliC gene detection was carried out by PCR (N.B. Perunova et al., 2012). RESULTS: Chromosomal ivyC gene determinants were isolated in 40.3% of cases (52 strains of 129), plasmid pliC gene - 6.9% (9 of 129). ivyC gene frequency of occurrence in klebsiella strains isolated from 39 ill children of Kazan was 46.6% of cases (18 of 39), in Moscow clinical strains - 95.5% (22 of 23) cases, wherein 6 strains had ivyC and pliC genes at the same time. Dysbiosis intestine strains had chromosomal ivyC gene at the frequency of 61.2% (41 of 67), 1 strain additionally had pliC gene. CONCLUSION: . The presence of ivyC and pliC lysozyme inhibitor genes in klebsiella clinical strains provides bacteria with selective advantages in various biotopes in the process of bacterial colonization of mucous membrane.
