“…Chloramphenicol was resist in 25% and sensitive in 65% of S. aureus isolates, these findings were a somewhat close to AL-Zengena [20] and Noaman [21] who reported that the resistance to Chloramphenicol was 34% and 31% respectively. The resistance to Chloramphenicol in the current study was lower than that revealed by a local research done in Erbil hospitals by Rafiq and Hamad [22] and Sahm [23] who found that 94% and 88% of S. aureus isolates were resistant to chloramphenicol, respectively. Other earlier research conducted in Iran by Jafari-Sales et al, [24] demonstrated that the resistance rate to Chloramphenicol was (16.75%).…”

A total of 250 clinical specimens were obtained from several sources included vagina, urine, nose wounds and burns. The specimens were obtained in Baaquba Teaching Hospital in Diyala province during the period from October 2021 to February 2022. The prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from these sources which that were diagnosed by selective media, biochemical tests, and confirmed by VITEK 2 system. Results showed 44 (17.6%) positive growth for S. aureus which were distributed as 2 (4%) from urine, 5 (10%) from vagina, 12 (24%) from nose, 13 (26%) from wounds and 12 (24%) from burns. Anti-

“…This result is close to that reported by Al-Jumaily [20] who found that 80% of the S.aureus isolates were sensitive to Ciprofloxacin. On the other hand, Rafiq [21] reported different results when found that sensitive to 100%. Regarding Escherichia coli, majority of its 9 isolates were sensitive to all four antibiotics used; 7 (77.7%) to Imipenem, 6 (66.67%) to each of Amikacin and Gentamicin, and 5 (55.56%) to Ciprofloxacin.…”

This study aimed to isolate the antibiotics-resistant bacteria causing burns and wounds infections in military operation patients, and to compare the inhibitory efficacy of probiotics with the most common effective antibiotics. For this purpose, collected a total of 52 male patients of ages from 18 to 55 years suffering of wounds and burns infection from Military Muthanna Hospital form the period September 2019 to January 2020. Distributed between 34 of the samples were collected from wounds and 18 from burns. 27 (51.92%) from the wounds and 14 (26.92%) from the burns gave positive results for bacterial growth. A total of 61 bacterial isolates, 40 from wounds and 21 from burns, were obtained after culturing on MacConkey agar and blood agar and incubating at 37ºC for 24h. The isolates were identified by cultural, microscopic and biochemical tests and found to belong to both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria .The susceptibility test was performed by subjected each of the wound and burn isolates to four most common antibiotics to each isolate bacterium. Results showed that majority of the isolates were highly sensitive to Ciprofloxacin and Gentamicin. 8 of the highly antibiotic-resistant isolates were selected for treatment by two bacterial probiotics; Lactobacillus casei and L. paracasei Cultivated independently, in MRS broth (de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe broth) medium. The fermentation products were then concentrated (50, 25, and12.5) ml and the inhibitory activity of the eight most antibiotic-resistant isolates used was tested. Experiment was repeated three times and analysed with SPSS software. ANOVA Table with Tukey's Multiple Comparison Test. Results showed that despite the three-fold concentrated filtrates of both probiotics exerted good inhibitory activity against the pathogenic isolates, but L. casei filtrate was highly effective than that of L. paracasei. Moreover, L. casei filtrate was even competitor to Ciprofloxacin and Gentamicin.

The study was carried out on (120) various clinical samples collected from patients attended Al Salam and Al-Khansa Hospitals and the Public Health Laboratory in the Mosul city during the of 4 months (September - December 2019). Samples were cultured on Mannitol Salt Agar medium, 105 samples give a positive result (grew the bacteria). 50 isolates were fermented mannitol sugar, at a rate of 47.6%, depending on the phenotypic characteristics and production of Coagulase, 14 isolates were identified, at a rate of 13.3%, belonging to Staphylococcus aureus the diagnosis were confirmed using VITEK system. The highest isolation rate from wounds was 57%, then abscesses 21%, blood samples 14%, and urinary tract infections 7%. The sensitivity of the isolates was tested for 16 antibiotics, the isolates showed variation in their resistance to antibiotics. Most of the isolates showed high resistance at 92.8% to each of Oxacillin, Vancomycin, which were diagnosed as MRSA and VRSA. Vancomycin MICs against MRSA and VRSA ranged (2500-5000) g /mL. MIC for nanoparticles sized (30, 20, 50-150) nm ranged (5000-10000) g / mL for isolates that are positive coagulase. In this study the efficacy of vancomycin was improved in combination with ZnO nanoparticles. results showed a decrease in vancomycin MICs from (2500-5000) g / mL to (39-78.125) g \ mL when mixed with ZnO 20 nm.
