Molecular Analysis of Virulence Genes HpmB and rsbA among proteus Species Isolated from Different Infectious Cases in Iraq.

ABSTRACT: Proteus species (spp.) is considered one of the widely spread pathogens worldwide. Proteus spp. can be detected in contaminated water, soil, and manure, aiding the decomposition of organic substances from animals. Proteus is a gram-negative bacterium that causes a wide range of human illnesses. This study aimed to find some virulence genes in Proteus spp. from different sources, including the laboratories of government hospitals in Karbala, Al-Hussies, and Al-Muthanna, Iraq. Fifty swab samples were collected from patients' wounds, ears, and sputum. Clinicians collected swab samples for identification. In total, 17 sputum samples, 13 ear samples, and 20 wound samples were collected from 27 (54%) females and 23 (46%) males. The virulence genes hpmB and rsbA
