Possibility of transmission the character of antibiotics resistance and heavy metals by conjugation genetic process in klebsiella pneumonia

Abstract

The total 22 isolate of K. pneumoniae which isolated from different infected cases has been active through their growth on the Brain Heart Infusion Broth Media, and then the processes of detection for bacterial producing to the Beta lactamase was done. 19 isolate (86.4%) showed ability to produce β-Lactamase enzyme , also have the ability to produce the Extendended spectrum β-Lactamase enzyme by using Disc Approximation , where was 9 isolates (40.9%), testing has been its ability to produce enzymes MetalloβLactamase and using the Imp-EDTA combination disc as managed 12 isolates (54.5%) production of the enzyme. All isolates showed pattern of multiple drug resistance towards 16 anti biotics , as were all isolates (100%) were resistance to antibiotics Ampicillin , Carbencillin , and Pipracillin, while most of the isolates were sensitive to Imipenem and chloramphenicol, and varied resistance ratio for the rest of antibiotics. Detection tolerate of bacteria to different concentrations of heavy metals and that their growing them on media containing different concentrations (3, 1.5, 0.03, 0.03 and 1.5) mmol. of metals (copper, cobalt, mercury, silver, and zinc) respectively where the highest concentration tolerance the bacteria to copper(3) mmol. , and the lowest concentration tolerance to metallic mercury and silver (0.01)
