OBJECTIVE
Moraxella catarrhalis is a non-motile Gram-negative diplococcus bacterium that contributed to several human infections including conjunctivitis. This study aimed to reveal the prevalence of M. catarrhalis in patients who suffered from conjunctivitis in Ahvaz city, southwest of Iran.
RESULTS
Out of 100 conjunctiva swab specimens, M. catarrhalis was isolated only from one (1%) conjunctivitis cases using the culture method. This strain was isolated from a 34 years old female patient. Also, the results of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were in agreement with the culture method, and the specimen that showed positive culture was also positive for specific gene of M. catarrhalis. The remaining 99 specimens did not show positive results with any of the culture and PCR methods.
目的
卡他莫拉菌是一种无动力的革兰氏阴性双球菌，可导致包括结膜炎在内的多种人类感染。本研究旨在揭示伊朗西南部阿瓦士市结膜炎患者中卡他莫拉菌的流行情况。
结果
在100份结膜拭子标本中，仅通过培养法从1例（1%）结膜炎病例中分离出卡他莫拉菌。该菌株从一名34岁女性患者中分离得到。此外，聚合酶链反应（PCR）结果与培养法一致，培养呈阳性的标本卡他莫拉菌特异性基因也呈阳性。其余99份标本的培养和PCR方法均未显示阳性结果。
