“…diarrhoea may be bacterial, viral, or parasitic, there are a numeric of bacterial species that cause diarrhoea including E. coli, Vibrio cholera, Shigella spp., Vibrio cholerae, Listeria monocytogenes, Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), Clostridioides difficile, and Salmonella spp . [ 3 ] In Iraq, incorrect breastfeeding, water supply, poor hygiene and sanitation, low income, crowding, and low mother education are risk factors for diarrhoea [4]. E. coli is regarded as a part of intestinal microbiota, because some variations of this bacteria they had the capacity to exhibit virulence, causing different appearances of gastrointestinal illness and causing the most common childhood diarrhoea [5].…”

Stool samples were collected from 100 children patient aged between 3 days to 11 years who suffered from diarrhoea to isolate diarrheal causative bacteria. Fifty-one isolates were isolated and identified by cultural, microscopical, biochemical tests, and Vitek 2 system. The isolates were distributed as: 46 isolates belonged to Escherichia coli, 4 isolates belonged to Shigella sonnei, and one isolate belonged to Providencia alcalifaciens. All isolates were tested for antibiotic susceptibility to 10 different antibiotics and autoaggregation ability. All isolates were revealed resistant to Metronidazole while they were sensitive to Imipenem except one isolate of E. coli showed resistance to it. In the case of autoaggregation ability, all isolates showed their ability to auto aggregate at 24h, while some of them have the auto aggregation ability at 4h and 9h. The highest auto aggregation percentage at 4h was recorded 86% for E. coli among S. sonnei and P. alcalifaciens isolates which gave percentage rates (57.14 and 33) % respectively. The current study aimed at the isolation, and identification of diarrheal causative bacteria, antibiotic susceptibility, and detection of auto-aggregation ability of diarrheal causative bacteria.
