- Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most nosocomial pathogenic bacteria found in the hospital that causes infections such as pneumonia, liver abscesses, and urinary tract infections. The ecpA gene is one of the target genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae that functions in biofilm development to increase the ability of bacteria to colonize and as the main subunit of fimbriae. This study aims to determine the confirmation, sensitivity, and specificity test of pathogenic bacteria by real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction method. The ecpA primer has an amplicons length of 170 bp and has an annealing temperature of 60℃. These primer pair produced Ct test at 16.78±0.04 and Tm value of 86.33℃±0.12. The specificity test of the ecpA gene successfully differentiated between target and non-target bacteria based on Ct and Tm value. Therefore, these primers can detect Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria at the smallest concentration until 1.06 pg/µL equivalent to 1.47 x 104 CFU. Based on these results, the ecpA primer successfully detected Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria quickly, specifically and sensitively using the rt-PCR method. In the next step, these primer pairs can detect the artificial contaminated samples using rt-PCR method.
