Detection of bla ndm-1 gene encoding metallo beta lactamase among urinary isolates of klebsiella species isolated from tertiary care hospital in kancheepuram district

Topic: Presence of bla NMD 1 gene in urinary isolates of klebsiella species Aim : To detect the presence of bla NDM 1 gene for the production of MBL in urinary isolates of klebsiella species in tertiary care hospital. Objective: A sum total of 20 will be used to detect the presence of bla NDM 1 gene for the production of MBL in urinary isolates of klebsiella species in tertiary care hospital. Background: Recently the B BETA-lactamase NDM 1has become a source of serious concern. Initially isolated from klebsialla pneumonia and Eschirichia coli isolates recovered in Sweden from a patient who was initially admitted in India, NDM 1 producers have subsequently been identified in various other countries in UK and Pakistan and indentified in K pneumonia, Citrobacterfreundii, enterobacter cloacae. Reason: To study the presence boa NDM 1 gene in our isolates for antibiotic resistance and for better treatment procedures.
