Figure 2.
Agarose gel electrophoresis of multiplex-PCR amplification products. (A) Acinetobacter baumannii (lanes 1 and 3) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (lane 5) showed positive expression of the blaTEM gene (800 bp). Acinetobacter baumannii (lanes 2, 4 and 6) and Escherichia coli (lane 7) showed negative findings to ESBL gene expression. (B) Klebsiella pneumoniae (lane 1), Escherichia coli (lanes 2, 3 and 6) and Enterobacter cloacae (lane 4), positive blaCTX-M gene (688 bp). Acinetobacter baumannii (lane 5) and Proteus mirabilis (lane 7) showed negative findings to ESBL gene expression. (C) Lane 2, co-existence of blaTEM and blaSHV genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate. Acinetobacter baumannii (lanes 3 and 6) showed positive blaTEM gene expression. Klebsiella pneumoniae (lane 4) showed positive blaSHV gene expression (713 bp). Acinetobacter baumannii (lanes 1, 5 and 7) showed negative findings to ESBL gene expression. Lane M, DNA marker (1,500-100 bp);. ESBL, extended-spectrum β-lactamase.
