Opportunistic Bacteria, multidrug-resistant bacteria
Abstract
During this study 46 samples were collected from Shahed Kalid Koya hospital obtained from (Kitchen room, intensive care unit, operation theater, and labor ward). a microbiological surveillance was done, that contribute to the circulation of germs around the patient from these units were isolated (five isolates Micrococcus varians, seven isolates Staph epidermis, nine isolates Escherichia coli, ten isolates Candida albicans, three isolates Lactobacillus sp., five isolates Pseudomonas aerogenosa, one isolate Listeria ivanovii, one isolate Citrobacter freundii, nine isolates Bacillus subtilius, one isolate Enterobacter pnemonia, six isolates Corynebacteria sp.). All these isolates were identified according to the cultural characteristics, morphological, and biochemical examination. The antibiotic susceptibility test were conducted to fifteen antimicrobials agents including (gentamycin (CN), chloramphenicol(Ch), ciprofloxacin(Cip), cefotaximsodium(CTX), amikacin(Amk), pipracillin(Pip), rifampicin(RD), doxycillin (DO), trimethoprim (Tri), pyopein (py), cloxacillin (CX), ampicillin (Amp), erythromycin (E), tobramycin (Tob) and Kiflex (KF). Antibiotic susceptibility which appears the highest resistant rate observed for (RD, Tri, Amp and KF) 100% respectively, CN90% and lower resistance rates were observed for ( Cip and Pip) 0%respectivelyand DO 28.57%.
