Background Excessive and incorrect use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of strains of Acinetobacter baumannii that have resistance to antibiotics, multidrug resistance A. aumannii has become a real threat to life of humans. So scientists have resorted to using nanotechnology to limit the spread of infection with these strains. Objectives Th...

Background Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a dermatological condition that arises due to the presence of protozoan parasites. The disease disproportionately impacts those residing in economically disadvantaged regions and is closely linked to factors such as inadequate nutrition, population displacement, substandard living conditions, and compromis...

Background ACOVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, presents with varying severity, from mild symptoms to severe disease, including ARDS and multi-organ failure. Identifying early biochemical markers to predict the severity of COVID-19 is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Aims and Objectives The study aimed to identify distinct...

The goal of the study was to ascertain whether particular pathogenic bacteria could be inhibited by triterpeniod substances obtained from Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) extracts. The time frame for completing this construction was July 2023–April 2024. At the beginning, 100 specimens were taken from patients who were undergoing treatment at the...

The aim of the study was to identify the E. coli and S. aureus bacteria isolated from pregnant women with urinary tract infections that silver nanoparticles derived from green leaves inhibited. The silver nanoparticles showed inhibitory activity against these two types by Well diffusion method. towards bacteria. The result of the inhibition diamete...

Background: Protozoan parasite causes Cutaneous Leishmaniosis (CL), dermatological disorder. Infected female phlebotomus sand flies spread these parasites. Secondary bacterial infection can worsen tissue damage and scarring. Objectives: In order to accurately ascertain the incidence of secondary bacterial infection caused biofilm formation in cutan...

Introduction and Aim: Pantoea species, are Gram negative bacteria that belong to the family Erwiniaceae. These bacteria are opportunistic pathogens known to cause several clinical infections in humans. The purpose of current research was to study the prevalence and identification of Pantoea spp. based on 16S rRNA sequencing, as well as detect the p...

The current study was conducted in Kirkuk city at Al-Shifaa 14 hospital from November 2021 to March 2022, indicated the bacteria causing secondary pneumonia isolated from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients and the role of IL-6 and IL-17 in these infection. Sputum samples were used to obtain the bacterial isolates,...

In view of the increasing interest in the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The extracted DNA yield was observed using the phenol-chloroform method, it ranged from (1.6-1.8) and concentration ranged from 100 to 800 ng/µl. Five classical enterotoxin genes were investigated in 20 isolates using multiplex PCR method after it had been...

This research approaches to investigate toxin gene content of the methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains that are clinically collected from human skin infection cases by performing multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique (irrespective of whether the strain produces the toxin or not) and for that a single PCR reaction was em...

The current research aimed to investigate the antibacterial activity of two types of honey alone and in combination with black seed oil and compare their effects. The first type of honey, the mountain type, was obtained from some beehive of Sulaymaniyah city, while the second type (Lowlander) was obtained from beehive in Balad city of Salah Al-Deen...

This paper presents the isolation of Acinitobacter baumanii from clinical dources such as wounds, burns and urinary tract infection. A total of 15 isolates of the studied bacteria were collected and identified by using macroscopic features, biochemical tests and the Vitek2 technique. The diagnosis was then confirmed at the species level. Antibiotic...

The study examined the relationship between environmental bacterial and the pathological isolates of inward patients. It identified the biological safety level procedures followed. This work was conducted during the period from December2021 till May 2022 in Ramadi city (Anbar Governorate). Samples were divided into 30 environmental samples collecte...

This study was conducted to investigate the antibacterial activity of green synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) using Aloe vera. Initially, bacteria were collected from clinical samples of patients having otitis media infection and the isolates were identified at the species level following biochemical tests. Copper oxide nanoparticles...

The present study is conducted to investigate the relatedness and genomic variability between strains of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus. A total of 100 isolates collected from different human skin infection and used a combination of morphological and molecular techniques to identify ten of these as Methicil...

This work involved investigating bacterial pollution of medical wastes produced by shredder autoclave at some local hospitals in Iraq. A modulation has been introduced to ensure sterilization performance through the use of Ultraviolet light on the hazardous wastes after being processed by shredder autoclave with different retention times at optical...

The study is conducted to diagnose the aerobic bacterial species causing chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM), reveal the antibiotic susceptibility pattern and detect some of their virulence factors. Samples were collected during the period from June till December 2018. From a total of eighty-two patients admitted to Samarra Hospital and outpati...

Aspergillosis is considered one of the dangerous systemic fungal infections which develops mainly in immunocompromised individuals. The most common cause is Aspergillus fumigatus. Forty-one of A. fumigatus were obtained from a total of 72 sputum specimens; 41 were positive for A. fumigatus, the age of patients ranged between 44 to 77 years old of b...
