Burkholderia cepacia and Aeromonas sobria are difficult to eradicate due to their innate resistance to a variety of medications, and cause various diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of carbapenemase genes and patterns of antibiotic resistance in isolates of B. cepacia and A. sobria. Randomly, 120 clinical specimens have been collected in patients with nosocomial infections. Selective media were used to culture ear swabs, urine, burns, wounds and cerebrospinal fluids. According to biochemical tests and the VITEK-2 system, 75 of these demonstrated positive growth with B. cepacia and A. sobria. Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) synthesis was phenotypically screened using the meropenem-EDTA disc test. The recA gene in B. cepacia and the genes encoding carbapenemase in both species were found using PCR tests. Among the 75 isolates assessed 20 (26.6%) were A. sobria and 55 (73.3%) were B. cepacia. Piperacillin, cefepime, and ceftriaxone showed antimicrobial resistance of 100%, followed by ceftazidime (97.3%), cefazolin (96%), and piperacillin/ tazobactam (94.6%). Intermediate resistance was reported with aztreonam (61.3%), meropenem (49.3%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (49.3%), gentamicin (46.6%), levofloxacin (44%), and ciprofloxacin (44%). It is important to note minocycline (40%), amikacin (40%) imipenem (36%) and tigecycline (34.6%), had the lowest resistance rates, hence their relatively higher efficacy against the tested isolates. In this investigation, the B. cepacia was confirmed to be found via the recA gene. The overall prevalence of carbapenemase genes was 92.8% (52/56) with blaKPC accounting for 80.8% (42/52) and blaGES for 19.2% (10/52) of the total. Specifically, 38 (90.51%) of the 42 (76.36%) B. cepacia isolates that were positive in carbapenem resistance carried blaKPC gene, 2 (4.81%) isolates carried blaGES, and 2 (4.81%) had no detectable carbapenemase gene. In the case of the 14 A. sobria carbapenem-resistant isolates, there were 4 isolates (28.6%) that had blaKPC, 8 isolates (57.1%) that had blaGES and there were 2 isolates (14.3%) that did not have any carbapenemase genes. None of isolates studied tested positive for the blaIMP gene. The recent study concluded that recA gene identification was more sensitive and specific technique for detection B. cepacia complex isolates. Since the prevalence of carbapenemase producers is high, careful infection control measures, rapid diagnostics, and antimicrobial stewardship must be implemented by clinicians. It is necessary that combination therapy be guided and early detectable to ensure better outcomes and restrict resistance.
Improving the Diagnosis and Follow-Up of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Using Conventional and Molecular Techniques

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, 2025
BackgroundThe Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) represented a finding of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in most cases which formed from t (9; 22) (q34; q11) resulting in the Breakpoint cluster region‐Abelson tyrosine‐protein kinase1 (BCR‐ABL1) fusion gene. Assuming CCE's inaccuracies in diagnosing CML and FISH's limitations with low BCR‐ABL1 percentages, a Predicted‐FISH (Pred‐FISH) was developed. This model predicts treatment response during follow‐up by integrating qRT‐PCR results, White Blood Cell (WBC) counts, and Cytogenetic Response data.MethodsQuantitative Real‐Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Analysis (qRT‐PCR), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and Conventional Cytogenetic Examination (CCE or Karyotyping) have been used in the detection and follow‐up of CML patients. The study included 110 individuals, divided into three groups: 31.82% (35 individuals) were newly diagnosed CML patients, another 22.73% (25 individuals) were healthy control samples, and the remaining 45.45% (50 individuals) were previously diagnosed CML patients.ResultsInclude BCR‐ABL1 fusion gene levels detected by qRT‐PCR, Ph chromosome presence t (9; 22) (q34; q11) observed by CCE, and WBC counts. The FISH test, used to confirm disease in new patients before treatment, was compared to CCE results due to its insensitivity in certain conditions. Data from CCE, FISH, qRT‐PCR, and WBC for newly diagnosed patients provided a standard for evaluating the Predicted‐FISH.ConclusionThe FISH technique excels in disease detection with over 98% accuracy and high sensitivity. QRT‐PCR is effective for monitoring CML and BCR‐ABL1 gene levels, indicating MMR and DMR. CCE, while useful for posttreatment monitoring, is less accurate in measuring treatment response over time.

Whole Genome Sequencing Insights on Extensive Drug Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Traumatic Infection

Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences, 2025
Background and Objective: It is well documented that Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) has recently used to explore new resistance patterns and track the dissemination of extensive and pan drug-resistant microbes in healthcare settings. This article explores the link between traumatic infections caused by road traffic accidents (RTAs) leading to coma and the development of chest infections caused by extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out from March to December 2022 which included a 45-year-old male patient admitted to the ICU of Al Ramadi Teaching Hospitals following a severe RTA that resulted in a TBI and subsequent coma. Two study isolates were diagnosed bacteriologically using the VITEK®-2 technique including resistant mechanisms like extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and carbapenemases. Whole genome sequencing was performed using a DNA nanoball sequencing platform from BGI-Tech. Genome assembly and annotation were done using the bacterial bioinformatics resource center. The report on Comprehensive Genome Analysis includes a phylogenetic analysis using the reference and representative genomes provided by PATRIC. Results: Klebsiella pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa isolates were XDR, producing ESBLs and carbapenemases. The WGS detection NDM-5 gene in the K. pneumoniae strain is not very common compared to the NDM-1 and blaOXA-181 g. At the same time, a file in P. aeruginosa isolate found genes GES-type ESBL (not reported in Iraq before), blaPAO and blaOXA-396 with NDM-1 all these genes are carbapenemases. In phylogenetic analysis, the K. pneumoniae isolate has an evolutionary relationship with strains originating from China while P. aeruginosa was globally unique. Conclusion: The XDR K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa pose a public health threat. The WGS revealed unique virulence and antibiotic-resistance genes associated with nosocomial outbreaks. The XDR isolates carrying NDM-5, blaOXA-181 and GES-type ESBL genes were detected.
Harnessing bacterial immunity: CRISPR-Cas system as a versatile tool in combating pathogens and revolutionizing medicine

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2025
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) technology has emerged as an adaptable instrument for several uses. The CRISPR–Cas system employs Cas proteins and programmable RNA molecules to guide the recognition and cleavage of specific DNA regions, permitting accurate genome editing. It is derived from the bacterial immune system and allows for accurate and efficient modification of DNA sequences. This technique provides unparalleled gene editing, control, and precise alteration opportunities. This review aims to offer a comprehensive update of the core concepts of the CRISPR–Cas system and recent progress, while also providing an overview of the significant applications in diverse fields such as microbiology and medicine. The CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing technique has facilitated substantial advancements in comprehending gene function, simulating diseases, and creating innovative therapeutics. CRISPR-based therapeutics present a hopeful prospect for addressing intricate ailments, including genetic disorders, malignancies, and infectious diseases, as they serve as viable substitutes for conventional pharmaceuticals. In microbiology, this method serves as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool that proves highly efficient in eliminating bacteria that have developed resistance to various antibiotics. Despite its significant potential, CRISPR encounters ethical, safety, and regulatory obstacles that necessitate meticulous deliberation. Concerns regarding off-target effects, poor delivery to target tissues, and unwanted side effects emphasize the necessity to thoroughly examine the technology. It is necessary to balance the advantages and difficulties CRISPR presents. Consequently, more rigorous preclinical and clinical experiments are essential before using it in humans.
