Introduction: Candida spp. has become increasingly resistant to antifungal drugs, with elevated MIC levels causing a negative medical impact and increasing the number of patients at risk of candidiasis. According to the CDC, about 7% of Candida blood samples show reduced susceptibility to fluconazole. Monitoring the antifungal resistance profil...

Vaccination against novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) become highly recommended. In Iraq, three vaccines are available. They are Pfizer-Biontech, Oxford-AstraZenica, and Sino harm vaccines. A cross-sectional retrospective study was performed to a total of 2399 individual who are vaccinated with one of the available vaccines. People who are infected wi...

Zamzam water provide for billions of muslims and considered as a holy water. In this study, Samples from zamzam water was charecterized chemically and compared with tab and distilled water. In addition to assay the antimicrobial activity. Zamzam water samples were charecterized for physical and chemical constituents and enumerated for total viable...

Introduction: COVID-19 vaccine have been indicated to successfully decrease the hazard for symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection furthermore associated hospitalisations. Objective: To study the immune response among different types of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Methods: This study includes 100 vaccinated...

Novel coronavirus the global worldwide health problem that infects the upper and lower part of respiratory tract started in December, 2019 in Wuhan, China. Correlation between immunoglobulin levels and laboratory parameters helps in the diagnosis of covid-19 and its severity. Eighty-three individuals were enrolled in the study, 59 of them diagnosed...

Six isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis were isolated from Iraqi soil characterized as non- insecticidal and non- hemolytic parasporal inclusion proteins. Bacterial isolates were propagated on nutrient broth. Then, the parasporal inclusion proteins were extracted and processed with proteinase K and trypsin. The major protein segments produced of 64K...

Investigating the impact of the inoculant Azospirillum spp. isolate on wheat plant (Triticum aestivum cv. Saber Beg) root hair deformation, growth parameters and detecting host-specificity phenomenon. The nitrogenase activity (C 2 H 2 reduction) of Azospirillum Spp. isolate was measured using gas chromatography method, and the impact of these isola...

Forty-eight isolates were found belonging to Proteus sp. with isolation percentage of 38 out of 125 urine samples which were collected from urinary tract infected patients. Proteus vulgaris and Proteus mirabilis represent 18.7% (9 isolates), and 81.25% (39 isolates) respectively. The production of chondroitinase enzyme was studied in a medium which...

Urinary Tract Infection is an infection that caused by the members of the genus Proteus that depends mainly on the availability of virulence factors ;Various virulence factors including biofilm, swarming migration , polysaccharide ,heamolysin,protease, DNase, urease production weredetermined for 45Proteus isolates that obtained from clinical specim...

Summary Proteus vulgaris it’s an opportunistic pathogen cause urinary tract infections and wound infections. Urease production, bacterial motility and fimbriae may favor the production of upper urinary tract infections (UTIs). Chondroitinase [EC 4.2.2.4] is an enzyme degrading hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, Dermatan sulfate or the like into...
