Discussion of the master’s thesis by the student (Doha Sabbar Khalil)

 The public discussion took place for the master’s student (Doha Sabbar Khalil) Department of Biology - University of Anbar on Tuesday 9/3/2024 in Ibn Sina Hall. for his tagged thesis

 " Effects of Metal Nanoparticles with Gallic Acid on Capsular Gene Expression and Polysaccharide Biosynthesis in Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae "

This study aimed to detect the presence of specific capsule biosynthesis genes in K. pneumoniae using PCR, to Chemically synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles coated with gallic acid as a drug delivery, Determining the activity of synthesized nanoparticles, IONPs and IONPs-GA, as an antibacterial and antibiofilm formation, and Evaluation of the activity of synthesized nanoparticles and gallic acid on the expression of capsule-associated genes in K. pneumoniae.

The results concluded that IONPs-GA successfully synthesized and have antimicrobial and antibiofilm inhibition. IONPs-GA could be useful in treatments wide range of bacteria and decrease the infections caused by K. pneumoniae.
